They clear 90 % of both blade areas, this is when it’s -12 degrees C or 10 degrees F, so cold real cold!! The attaching point is not obtrusive to my line of site out the windshield and the beam type blade keeps contact even over the curved windshield

But are they stiff do to the cold temps ?
Mine start to get stiff around 20* F
Again they are Bosch blades and do work well when this doesn't happen.
Thanks

They remain pliable at least to 10 degrees F , I’ll let you know when it gets colder

Today , once more the dreaded P0496 code popped up, and as luck would have it , the purge valve I ordered off of Amazon arrived in the mail box, after a few minutes if wrestling the old valve off the bracket and installing the new part the code is gone and now no pending code either. I attempted to blow through the old valve from grey front side and it leaked air, then from the black rear side and it also leaked air.
So we’re off for a ride and lunch somewhere and I’ll monitor the CEL or MIL light .

Cat Man , these wipers are nice and flexible even at just -4 C or a bone chilling 23 degrees F. No wind chill factor estimate

Hauled home my long over due new Hot water tank, ordered over a month ago...Arrgh. Lots of stories why it didn't get shipped as it was supposed to. Whatever, our old one is still working good, it's almost 20 years old, & has a tiny leak (at times.) Which I know eventually will Blow Out. .

But I got the replacement I speced out, they wanted to give me another unit, but it had 1/2 the insulation & etc.. & we are going back up into the mid 60's temps day after Christmas. Thank GOD. So an install is what I have planned, after Christmas. . Got all my goodies to do the swap.
