Yep, I've held the stalk. It makes no difference though, it won't unfreeze. The heating elements definitely work, as when the washers do work, I can see the steam from the warm water on the windscreen on a cold day.

I figured the only way to truly unfreeze them is to pour warm water over the nozzles on the bonnet, but it defeats the point of having heated nozzles. Like I said, I think its its a silly design to put nozzles on top of the bonnet where the frost gets to them right away.
