Windshield Wiper Adjustment
Tried to adjust the wiper arm so that wiper sits higher on windshield so the defrost heat will keep the wipers thawed out, on these trucks there is a notch on post so that it only fits one way.
Any one know if there is a stop adjustment on moter or arm, for that matter is it possible to have ford adjust stop points in comp.
I have done this adjustment on many vehicles in the past and it works great in the cold climates. nothing like ripping rubber off the wipers every time you need to get the road grime off window.
My truck dont fit in my garage so trying to remove plastic @ 0 degrees just to take a look isnt appealling to me, unless I know there is an adjustment to make.

They already have heated wiper blades, but they are very expensive: Everblades Heated Windshield Wipers, Everblade Heated Wiper Blades
They also have a windshield washer heating device which looks interesting but also very expensive: http://www.autoanything.com/driving-...7-57DAA74FFF7A

I know it's not a fix but a easier way than putting plastic on the windshield is to lift the wipers. Now saying that I haven't checked to see if they would stay up on their own or they just lift up and don't lock. But that also means they might be out of reach to pull them back down.
The other thing we used to do is have a couple pieces of cardboard and stick them under the wipers, that fix is practically free.

Sounds cool, see they are not available for the '12s yet. Wonder if they are the same?
Are you going to wire them to an uplifter switch?

"Your heated windshield wipers sport built-in heater elements that keep the blades broiling at approximately 200°"
Ya...and heat will degrade the blades much faster. These just won't get it done I'm afraid.
