On icy days in the Dallas area, it can be difficult for windshield wipers to work properly, but with Ford's new windshield wiper de-icers that's about to change. Set to debut as a new feature in the 2017 Escape Cold Weather package, Ford's new windshield wiper de-icers will have the ability to melt light ice and snow off of wiper blades in less than 10 minutes, even when temperatures are as low as 18 degrees.
The coolest part is that the de-icer system can be activated remotely thanks to SYNC Connect, which also allows Ford owners to do things like remotely start their cars and lock/unlock the doors, as well as locate their cars from virtually any location. The hassle of getting windshield wipers properly cleared off in the winter will be annihilated with Ford's de-icer technology. See the new tech in action below!
“The windshield wiper de-icer is a great solution to one of the more nagging problems of winter,” said Jennifer Gauthier, Ford fixed glass engineer. “Escape drivers in the U.S. are going to wonder how they ever got along without it.”
