Re: Wrangler Winter Wiper Blades
They do help. I sure would like some for mine but have a almost
impossible time getting regular wipers, let alone the covered ones. I
have one blade held on with a plastic zip tie right now...
I can get universal refills to cut to size, but no blades.

Odd as this may seem, I wax and polish the glass. Keeps the ice from sticking.
Try it in a corner that won't bother you and see if it helps.

These are the ones. (they're actually named "Winter Blade")
I got mine, in stock, from Advance Auto Parts. That is a 13" blade.
The rear wiper (with the factory hard-top) is a 16". My TJ is an '05,
but I rather doubt there's any change in the wiper blade size. In
fact, the guy at the counter double-checked by looking up an '04
because their computer didn't list the '05 yet.

I don't think the Anco's are in stock here. That doesn't really mean
much, though, other than I chose the Trico because they are.
My experience with winter blades is that the key benefit is the rubber
wrapper around the joints. It prevents ice build-up that causes the
blade to not form to the curves of the window. Supposedly the blade
is silcone or teflon coated or something, but I don't really care
about the rest of the details. In the past I used the WinterBlade in
the winter and a double-blade wiper in the summer with good
experiences. The day I picked up my '05 TJ I went to the store and
replaced the wipers with winter blades. I saved the factory blades to
put back on in the spring.
If you want to send me PayPal or a personal check, I'm willing to pick
up a set of winter blades here and ship them to you at-cost. You
ought to be able to find them at a local parts store, though.
