ran across this while looking for defroster repair kits,this is a system that heats your washer fluid,it melts the snow right off your windshield,and it clears bugs and crap off in the summer with hot washer fluid,I thought it was pretty neat. http://www.frostfighter.com/ff_pdt_2500.htm
sweet!
ya allot of new cars are coming with this option i thin benz was the first
My 535i has heated sprayers for the windshield. They activate below a certain temperature. The door locks are also heated if the door handle is held up for a few seconds. BTW, I got a repair kit for the defroster at PepBoys. Its made by permatex. Fixed every break in my lines and they work great now. HTH

why would your door locks be heated
They are heated because at very low temperatures they will freeze. Unlocking a car with frozen locks is near impossible so they are heated before you use the key. The feature is only activated if you actually hold the handle up for a certain period of time.Originally Posted by ghettogeddy

huh well that makes scence but im from cali it dosent get that damn cold lol
Cool! Why is this in 1geez? Can I be a mod now?
I'm not sure how I posted it under 1 geez, I know I had put a response to an old post about defroster grid repair under there,it had seemed like useful info,since thats always an ongoing problem. I guess I was just under 1geez at the time.
haha some of my accord keys are slightly "twisted" from trying to force frozen locks open...now i just carry my pocket WD40 with me during the winter months (it's cheaper than those actual lock de-icers and it's the same thing).
i have seen hot water crack a frozen windsheild
I've always used hot water on my windshield in the mornings. Never had a problem. Even the rock chips in my windshield don't grow into big spider webs. In fact, there's a Buick that comes with this system installed in it. They probably did some amount of testing on the system...
you can buy thoughs things at canadian tire here
