Wiper parking area defrosters – New high density defrosters
Clear View II Front Wiper Parking Area defrosters melt snow and ice low along the bottom of the front windshield to limit build up and stop wiper freezing even in the toughest weather. Available in 12 volt.
How They Work
Put the heat low on the front windshield
Clear View Front Wiper Area Defrosters safely defrost the area at the bottom of the front windshield in the wiper parking area.
Developed and tested in Colorado’s tough winter conditions these new defrosters work with the vehicles existing hot air defroster to stop wiper freezing, improve wiper operation and enhance the view of the road ahead.
Now with high density (HD) heating element spacing for better defrosting. Available for single and two piece windshields.
Available in several models, Clear View Front Wiper Defrosters fit vehicles from passenger cars all the way up to the largest plow truck.
Stay safe and keep the wipers moving
Save wear and tear on wiper arms and wiper transmissions. Wipers that are not fouled with snow/ice build-up enable improved visibility and reduce the need for frequent stops i.e., driver is not exposed to hazardous external conditions (road, traffic, weather) to clear windshield and clear build-up from wipers.
Enhanced wiper area heating complements the existing hot air defroster effectively eliminating wiper freezing and reducing snow build-up even in the most challenging winter conditions.
- Visibility – Keeps the windshield clear
Front Wiper Parking Area Defrosters are now available for full and split glass windshields. Edge defrosting in the wiper push area are also now available.
Defrost low on the front window
The vehicles hot air defroster clears the area directly in the drivers line of sight about mid way up the windshield in line with the drivers line of sight.
Clear View Front Wiper Area Defrosters put a measured safe heat low on the front windshield below where normal hot air defrosters warm the glass.
How they work
The defroster elements are sandwiched between two pieces of release paper that when separated allow perfect alignment on the glass. Defrosting is accomplished through contact between the Clear View defroster elements and the window. The defroster is connected electrically through the buss bar tabs and activated with the automatic ThermaSync defroster control and switch.
Defrost the wiper push area
In tough winter conditions wipers can push snow into areas at the sides of the windshield. This snow build up can limit wiper movement and interfere with visibility. Clear View II Side Defrosters put the heat along the edge of the windshield melting snow and ice in this critical area.
Application
The heating elements come on pre-spaced rolls which are trimmed for a custom fit when installed. The self-adhesive heating elements bond directly to the glass and connect to the defrosters side buss bars.
A cover is then applied to the buss bars for a finished factory appearance. The side buss bars include integral tabs are positioned for easy connection to the ThermaSync™ defroster control.
Finished Appearance
A cover is applied to the buss bars for a finished factory appearance. Heating elements match the brownish color of factory defrosters and adhere directly to the glass for improved visibility and safe winter driving. No backing is left on the window to fade, crack or yellow over time.
Now in HD
We have reduced the spacing between the heating elements to provide better heat density low on the windshield in the wiper parking area. This better heating performance keeps the wipers moving even in the coldest conditions.
