A heating windshield wiper shroud system which is designed to be installed in combination with a conventional motorized vehicle windshield wiper assembly having an electrically activated windshield wiper rocker arm and a windshield wiper blade and supporting frame. The wiper shroud system utilizes a shroud housing with a roof portion along a longitudinal axis having a middle section with a first vertically and transversely designed upper width portion and a second vertically and transversely designed lower width portion which has a differentially wider transverse width dimension than the first upper width portion. The second lower width has a shelf portion which has a perimeter generally between and coextensive with the outside vertical edge of the first upper width and the outer edge of the second lower width portion. The shroud housing is further provided with an internal channel along its longitudinal length for installation of a conventional wiper blade assembly, a channel transversely positioned within the upper width of the middle section for receipt of a pin securing a wiper arm, and a channel transversely positioned within the lower width for pinned securement of a wiper blade. A biasing clip member is are utilized adjacent to each of the transverse channels to secure pin members; and an electrical heating element system, interfaced with the vehicle's power system, is mounted adjacent to the roof portion of the shroud on opposite sides of the middle section to provide heat energy adjacent to and above a wiper blade installed in the shroud housing.
