Do 2023s Come With Windshield Wiper De-Icing?

[LegacyXXII]

All models in Canada are required to have it , state law . I might be incorrect saying state law , and for that I must apologize .

Do you have a source on that?

I’m not sure if it’s federal or provincial law here, couldn’t find anything using a quick Google search.

As awesome as it would be, I don’t think this is the case. Lots of new vehicles being sold here don’t have it.

Posting this so people who are Canadian or otherwise interested can see.

I have found the Canadian order guide for the 2023 model year on another forum site and on it, under the base model, it comes standard with rain-sensing wipers and wiper de-icer.

Although it’s dated 08/11/22, this was the best I could find. Don’t know if there’s been an update since then.

I have ordered a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands. It went into production yesterday Jan 4th, I ordered it Oct 16th. The window sticker is available now and it shows “ Windshield Wiper de-Icer “ Not sure if it is standard or added when the block heater is added. Until I read this thread I didn’t even know it was an option so thanks folks.

I have it on my 2022 Badlands

You are lucky. They discontinued it for 23+

What does it actually do and how does it work?

Sorry, I've never had a car with wiper de-icing.

I just flip my wipers up off the windshield so they don't get frozen to it.

That's literally the worst thing you can do to your wipers. You're weakening the springs causing them not to press on the windshield as well. Eventually you'll have more wiping and you'll think it's the blades but it's not.
