Why the heck didn't they put like 2-3" of heating element at the bottom where the wipers lay so they melt the ice/snow off the wiper blade. What good is it a heated windshield when you cant wipe off a large section b/c the wiper doesn't touch.

i'm sure mines got that.. ... - .- -.

And mine

yep, i got it..

well what the heck!? how do you turn it on? Is it a separate option from the heated windshield/heated winshield button?

I do notice when looking at the windshield from inside the Range, I have a thick black band at the bottom and i figured this would/might be a heated portion but my blades never defrost. And actually...I think they sit a fraction of an inch above that black portion


do I have to squirt the windshield once to turn the heater on? How long does it stay on?

mine definitely don't turn on b/c my 1 hour drive to work this morning my wipers were frozen up...and its 20* here. However I used my heated windshield to thaw it this morning...only takes like 2-3 minutes to thaw it enough to get the frozen stuff loose.

this is what it says in the WM,

hmm interesting....will have to post in the USA forum.

is yours dont work then something is broken or maybe you dont have this feature in the states.....[/quote]

Usually export vehicles are higher spec than home market so I would suggest it is there but not functioning.
