The blade has a lip portion and a lengthwise U-shape channel defining a mouth about the lip portion, so that a pair of spaced lips be defined. A U-shape metal casing is embedded into the blade U-channel, and is heated by a wire made from a material having a high electric resistance and through which runs an electric current provided by the car battery. A hose is frictionally engaged into the U-casing lengthwisely thereof, and connected to the antifreeze liquid tank under the car hood. The hose has a number of bores, for passage of the antifreeze towards the windshield through the channel mouth. The wire casing will warm the antifreeze liquid in the hose and the wiping element including its blade as well as its bead.
