On late model cars, the washer fluid is heated by the coolant by tubes running through the washer tank. Also, the washer nozzles are heated to keep them from freezing.

Subaru has a VERY cool device: heating elements on the windscreen located under the wiper resting positions to keep the wiper blades from freezing. MB should copy that right away.
