Eventually, the "cold corner" was fixed by adding a Heater Blanket over that upper wing surface.
Not true AFAIK, as the brilliant Heater Blanket melted the clear-ice, wich subsequently froze again as it left the heated area, on the flaps...

I know SAS had these blankets installed on some aircrafts, but after the above was discovered, they were all disconnected.

I actually figured this was another failed "SAS-special" (like the MD-90 with ballast-bags instead of forward airstairs), because i've never seen other operators MD's with these blankets...
