Hi peeps. Just thought I would share. Checked mine today and found a 6" iceicle on the end and a completley frozen tube.

:shock: It shows how much water should drain through that hole.

Good tip, thanks Chelle.

Also make sure you switch your wipers off BEFORE stopping your engine. If they're not parked they could be frozen to the screen, then when you start up the first sign you get is the smell of burning out wiper motor.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
