HEATED WIPER BLADE AREA?

[Jill]

I have a 2021 sport Badlands. I had to get my windshield replaced.

Can anyone confirm if the 2021 Badlands has the heated wiper area? The reason I ask is I saw my old windshield after it was removed, and it had a wiring connector at the base of the windshield.

I didn't get a chance to see the new windshield before it was installed.

I turned on the rear defoster, and the rear window and drivers mirror heated up. No heat in the front wiper blade area at the base of the windshield.

I'm not sure what the criteria is for heating that area. Does the ambient temp have to be below a certain temp to turn on?

I'm questioning in my mind whether the correct windshield was installed and didn't have the connector.

Any info would be appreciated.

2021 Badlands Canadian spec has heated wiper area. I have one.

I have the same dark edge around the windshield (Canada / 2021 Outer Banks / extra packages)
I never thought it could be heated?
Can anyone confirm, please. And when / how does it come on?
... since snow collects in the wiper area quire a bit and hard to get out.

Thanks

Canadian spec Badlands has heated wiper area. It’s activated by the rear window defroster button, which also
activates the heat on the side mirrors.

I assume that it also applies to Canadian Outer Banks

Yes it does I believe as well as rain sensing wipers. Way to go Canada!
