Glen and Geo had washer fluid heaters in their trucks. Perhaps they would comment on the desirability of this accessory
Washer Fluid Heater
- Thread starter terryandrene
- Start date
It was a great system to have in the winter, but even better in the summer for the bugs! I can't remember the company name. They are in the Detroit area. Terry do you remember? The old brain ain't what it use to be! The system worked within a few seconds with very hot fluid. If you needed fluid without heating then operate the washer as you normally would. Hope this helps?

The Safe-Vue washer solvent heater from Rostra Precision Controls works year-round by heating windshield washer solvent to melt ice and snow, remove road oils, tree sap, insects and other dirt or film.
Suitable for use in virtually any vehicle from commercial trucks to passenger vehicles, the patented system automatically heats the solvent in a separate reservoir within 90 seconds of a cold start. The unit is thermostatically controlled to prevent overheating and is insulated to continuously and safely keep the fluid warm, the company says.
Safe-Vue installs in line in the factory washer supply hose that connects the reservoir to the nozzles. The nozzles are mounted at the base of the windshield, in the hood or on the wiper arms. The system also is suitable for headlamp washer systems, and its compact design takes up little space under the hood.
The system retails for $85 and carries a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty.
