I had those things on a truck a while back, I am in MA so not as much snow, but in the hills we still get plenty. I hated them, instant regret and remorse in buying them after the first snow. I will never own a pair again. The oil fix is good to know, but there is no fix for the snow and ice jamming into them and freezing.

You can tell certain cars/products are invented by people who never have felt the cold in their life. We had a telluride before this and the windshield wipers sit below the hood and you literally can't clear the snow out of them in the morning.

Cali designer life I guess!

This is truth! How about recessed door handles and flush fit door edges that fill with freezing rain, assuring that yours doors are sealed shut?

I used see videos of “test teams” from manufacturers with their vehicles in Duluth, learning how winter weather changes how a vehicle operates and drives.

Cost cutting shut down the R&D apparently.

Dealer turned me onto Kroil penetrating oil.
Haven’t had any more trouble with regular use.
Great product for sure but I discovered similar results and performance to Kroil with less expensive FREE ALL penetrating oil. Of all the crazy places, I learned about this product from a good old boy at the local trailer repair shop when my utility trailer's, foldable, rear drive-on gate's hinges froze up and this product fixed them in 3 minutes.
