Or remember to put the wiper arms down before you start the car...:2:rbsmo04 said:Here's how I do it...
I keep the wipers on when I'm turning off my MO...
With the wipers in their top swipe position, I turn off the car...
Presto! Now I can flip up me wipers and they don't freeze to the windshield!
Now...if I could just keep the darn washer jets from clogging with ice and snow.....

I guess I will use a water wipe as Grip suggests. You learn something new everyday.GripperDon said:I think the alcohol is to remove the preservative that is put on the rubber blade to protect it until use. I thing a water wipe might be safer.
rbsmo04,
If you shut the car off with the wipers @ the top position, then you can't start your MO until you've completely cleaned the windshield right? Unless you want to ruin them on the ice...
How about removing the hood and covering the engine with a tarp? Now should be able to start the engine with the wiper arms up! :2:rbsmo04 said:True...but if you want to get the wipers out of that hideaway abyss....it's the only way I've seen. :-(
I was very serious about removing the fuse. If you anticipate ice and snow, operate the wipers to up position before turning the engine off. Then remove the fuse and pull the wipers up off the windsheild.GripperDon said:zebelkhan thanks for your post, we needed that.![]()
