get yourself one of them snow brush's and wipe the snow off before you get in ,or while the van is warming up,you dont want to burn out the motor with trying to wipe the snow off with them.it takes only seconds to do. :-)

I have noticed that the wiper motors aren't as strong as the ones on some other vehicles, however keep in mind that waking up to a couple of inches of snow on your windshield isn't all that likely in Japan...

You should be clearing the rest of the vehicle of snow anyway, do the windshield too (and PLEASE for the sake of everyone behind you, do the roof!!!)

haha, yeah i usualy dont do the roof to keep people from tail gating me,the turn out form my residence is directly up a hill so its pretty slow going and its a piss off when some guy rides you up it.anyways i usualy do brush it off but itd be nice if i could just hope in and they just pushed it off like most cars,but good point about lacking lots of snow in japan.

Hardly no snow in Japan?!? Maybe not in Tokyo but here's a picture that's worth a thousand words... Or check up this link if you want even better pictures of snowy Japan!

Mine seems to do fine with a couple of inches of snow, but fails completely with the same amount of slush.
