ABSTRACT:
A system includes a plurality of wiper blades including U-shaped housings and elongated lever arms having lower end portions connected thereto respectively. The housings are secured to a lower portion of the windshield and electrically coupled to an internal power supply source. A hand-operable switch is disposed within the vehicle and operably connected to the power supply source and the housings respectively. The system further includes a mechanism electrically coupled to the switch for lifting the wiper blades about the respective housing, effectively generating an impact force as the wiper blades are snapped back to the resting position after being pivoted to a stressed position so that debris and frozen elements will advantageously discharge from the wiper blades during operating conditions.
