An apparatus for directing air flow from a defrost vent in a vehicle toward the base of the windshield to de-ice the windshield wiper. A deflector plate is pivotally attached to one end of a jointed arm. The other end of the jointed arm is releasably attachable to the inside of the windshield above the defroster vent. The angles of the jointed arm and the deflector plate are adjusted to direct warm air from the defrost vent directly toward the windshield wiper. A commercial version of the apparatus has a length-adjustable arm to accommodate larger windshields in commercial vehicles.
