Anyone else have a problem with their wiper fluid nozzles freezing up all the time? Ive tried everything, heating them up with a lighter, expensive wiper fluid, etc. and I have it narrowed down to Ford's ****-poor design of the nozzle placement. EVERY morning if it snows overnight they are froze up and im forced to drive 50 miles with no way to clean my windshield.

Is there something im missing here? Some kid of trick? or do these wiper nozzles really stink that bad? Next step is to mount the nozzles on the hood...

 

No your right.....its the design....the front bezel allows to much ice and snow to sit on top of nozzles....they need to be a tad higher....lets work on a design a sell it to Ford for 1 million dollars..

 

Sounds like a plan!!

For the time being, ill just relocate the nozzles to the hood.

 

were heated nozzles ever an option? would make sense in the cold climates just found this

Just zap them with some windshield de-icer. Better yet, just replace your wiper fluid with Heat windshield de-icer. Takes the ice right off the windshield in the morning.

 

Yea, same issue here. We've been hammered this year with snow and I'm always frozen up in the morning. Once the snow is gone on the cowl, I'm back in business. One of the better designs I guess. I think we should move south.

 

Tried it and tried it...doesnt work.

Thats weird cause even once the snow is gone on mine, it still doesnt work.

Im down for moving south.

 

Regardless if you move south, or across town, a garage will solve your problem.

 

Never had a problem with mine, however I drive an older model (2003 Screw)
It gets down to -20 -30 Celsius often where I live (thats -4...-22 F), and they never freeze up even when using regular winter washer fluid...
