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.
