WH View Finder Windshield Owners

[72_EB]

Who out there is running one? Any cold climate folks with one? The snow and slop is coming and I'm might be getting pretty close to getting tired of watching wipers drag snow back down across the windshield and opening my driver door at lights to knock off snow covered wipers...maybe. %)
I did meet a local Chicago guy a while ago who build a pretty orange truck with one, but I think it's no longer in my area. Anyone? Thoughts? Reviews?

Have it and like it - very clean look, better visibility forward. Hardly snows where I'm from though so can't comment on that aspect.

But, I have to figure out sun visors and a head liner. Wiper motors are on the bottom so will have to fab up something.

I'm the guy who makes them. I live in a part of Canada that gets some snow in the city but not much. We get tons of rain though. Being 6'2" tall my main thought was to get the glass up higher with the side benefit of wipers that work.
Funny, the worst blizzard I have driven through was in Arizona on my way home from the Stampede a few years ago. The worst part is the flat glass and raised rubber seal for the glass, eventually it piles up on the rubber and wont slide off, The wipers keep working, no problem , but the sides become covered and you will have to clear them.
All the pics below are in AZ. In the one picture the blade appears to be curved, they are straight the camera did that.
If you have any questions... fire away.

Thanks for all the info, guys.

Great to hear from you too, Gary. I've admired your rig for a long time. Those snow pics are very cool. I never thought about the raised rubber weatherstrip until you mentioned it. It defintely freezes and piles up on there too. I wonder if putting the glass in with modern urethane adhesive would work help or just be a cheaper, so-so fix.

Snow sucks. I've pondered cutting louvers along the back of the hood to vent engine heat onto the windshield. Just like all modern pickups with the plastic heat vents between the wipers and hood. It took me a couple years to learn to clean that area off also when cleaning the snow off the windshield.

It doesn't snow much here in South Texas.
