 The only complaints that I have had on my last two Dodge trucks is their windshield wipers. The "96" wipers were in a well below the hood line. The "04"'s wipers are at least not hidden. The "96" required a dig out after a snow. The truck I have now is useless when it is wet and cold. The arms freeze and the blades don't even touch the windshield. My question is, what can I replace the wipers with that will work in the wet and cold ? I'm sure someone here has the answer. Please, No remove the wiper arms and drive a Ford or Chevy under them answer.
Thanks.

Try Piaa.com/wiperblade      also when you leave out side just flip them up off the glass.............. of course dont forget to put them back down before driving off.

As for the wiper blades, I use the Bosch Icon blades and find them to be much better in icing conditions, similar to special purpose winter blades but with the added advantage of a built in spoiler to keep the blade on the glass at speed.  Looks a lot better than the winter blades too.  The wiper arms themselves shouldn't cause a problem unless ice is building up between the cowl top and the arm, restricting movement or lifting the arm away from the glass.  I don't know of any easy fix for that kind of issue.

Never tried these, but saw a commercial about them the other day - Rain -X Weatherbeater Windshield Wipers.

Why does it feel like I should say I stayed in Holiday Inn Express last night.

I use the same blade as Jerry, as the Iowa Winters can be tough with both ice and snow
Why in the heck did I leave CA    I got to remember I like the 4 seasons 
However 4seasons for me would be 15 days of Winter 15 days of Summer and the balance 1/2 of Spring and other 1/2 Fall

Any way Great Wipers IMHO

 I went down to the local NAPA today and ordered some Icons. They said they would be here Tuesday morning. I could have gone to Terre Haute and bought some today, but I can wait. Thanks for the advice.
