I'm in Winnipeg (Winterpeg as most like call it...) I bought an '04 TJ last
May. My first Jeep. I've wanted one since I was like 5! This is my first
winter with it. I'm pretty impressed so far. It's been through -40C, ice
rain, snow storms, and some 18"+ deep snow. :)

So far, the stock wipers have actually held up pretty well to our extreme
cold and snow conditions. What I find is that on the driver's side of the
windshield it will eventually start to build up a small "ice shelf" along
the vertical support. Turning the defrost on full at max heat will
eventually melt the ice shelf, but that's a pain.

On every other vehicle I've had, I installed teflon winter wiper blades,
available at Canadian Tire. The blade mechanism is surrounded in a rubber
skin that stops ice from forming in the joints of the blade. They made a
huge difference from a typical wiper. Only thing is I'm not sure whether I
can get a winter blade for a Jeep because the wipers are so short. I guess
I'll check next time I'm in there.

There's another new style of "extreme condition" wiper that's out this year
called a Reflex wiper blade. Again available at Canadian Tire. I've never
tried them but they seem like an interesting concept.

Good Jeepin' Eh.

LOL.

On the windshield wipers subject. I have a 2001 TJ and I'm guess I'm used
to the wipers. I just put up with them. But, I have seen mechanisms
(springs) on the web that aid in pressing the wipers more, on the window.
I don't remember where, just not interested.
