I just got two new wiper blades because I wrecked one lifting it off the frozen windshield. (I just got this Explorer a couple of months ago.) Now there was a bit of an ice storm, nothing terrible, and the blades were frozen on the windshield again. So I ran the defroster for 15 minutes. The whole windshield was defrosted except at the base where the wiper blades were still frozen to the windshield. (Inside the cabin it was toasty.) Is there some sort of trick to getting the defrost to unfreeze the wiper blades? And if not, do you think a hair dryer would do the job (without damaging the wiper blades, which were expensive)? Any other suggestions for getting them unfrozen without damaging them? Thanks.
PS. I'm at home so it's not big deal, but this could be quite the hassle if it happens again away from home.
