Default how are window louvers in the snow?

been looking at them for a while but wondering, i live in MN where it snows like crazy, so would the snow fall in between and clog up the louvers requiring me to take em off and clean rear window? or would they just fall on the louver panels leaving visibility unchanged?

for anyone with louvers in snow experience, speak up!!

Quarter lovers and snow yields no problems. Worst case scenario just scoop out snow with your hand. My louvers make the side windows borderline useless. anywho ive never had an issue.

My friend poured a container of hot water on his rear window. I'd cringe when he did it expecting to hear a loud CRACK!

On the rear it will depend on how the snow comes down. As an ex-Minnesotan, when the wind blows, it will get clogged under it.

I imagine a snow scraper with a brush + rear defrost would do the trick.

If they make a hinged set get those. That way you can just lift them up like a hatch and clean out the snow from underneath.
