Description of the problem	Wipers icing bad in freezing temperatures due to inadequate defroster performance, upper half of w/s stays icy going down road. Lots of heat from heat/defrost to the point you are cooking out of cab, but windshield still stays icy as well as wiper blades. Bottom of window never does thaw if it is below 18 degrees. Happens all the time when ambient temp below 34 degrees. Have tried deflectors on vents to direct more air at base of windshield, no help. Gets to the point when driving you have to stop and let window thaw, regardless of fan speed or heat level. Gets too hot to sit in vehicle with out side windows rolled down some. Will do this at highway speeds or idling along in 1st gear going slow in snow. Has happened since i purchased vehicle in 2006.
