A wiper heater insert includes a coiled heater wire, slip fit insulator, and an air gap between the heater insert and a longitudinal bore of the wiper. These three features minimize warping caused by thermal expansion and maximize the flexibility of the wiper. A press fit bushing at one end provides a readily removable heater element to minimize the cost of replacing a wiper blade and save wear and tear on the heater insert when it is not needed during the summer.
