My Wipers Suck

[Dan D 2]

Last night we had our 2nd snow storm up here in Maine. I did not get a chance to go out during the first storm but certainly had to spend some time out in it last night.
First things first....driving in the snow, this thing is awesome!!!! Very stable and handles very well.
Visibility....TOTALLY SUCKS!!! Hummer did an absolutely piss poor job in placing the defroster vents. On the Drivers side, ice builds up towards the middle of the windshield (no vent there) and interfere's with the wiper blade. On the passenger side, the same thing happens towards the bottom of the blade. What a freakin mess...I had to stop every 10 - 15 miles or so to clear the ice.
I'm gonna try to make some deflectors to redirect the air.....anyone else have this problem

You should change the title of this thread to include wipers or defrost sux.

I have the same problem. My thoughts are this is due to the fact that the window is basically vertical. Unlike on a normal vehicle where the slant of the windshield allows the snow to slide up over the roof the Hummer windshield catches the snow and then it just slides down onto the blades. The defrost works fine. You would need a flame thrower to do better. Just the way it is. Maybe living where you live a HotShot would be in order.

I titled the thread as such to get people's attention.

I'll look into the HotShot, that might be my answer.

The defrost works fine, very HOT, I just think that it's not directed in the proper spot.

This has been discussed many times, the Hot Shot seems to do the trick.

Good luck.

While the power of the vents is fine the angle of the winshield itself does not allow the hot air to blow on it well. I've heard of some issues with the hot shots as well. I carry a can of de-icer in the winter. Just pull over every 40 minutes and spray some on and you'll be fine.
