Has anyone who lives in a place that gets snow figured out a way to get the power side steps to function properly once they get snowy?

Last winter I had them stowed anytime the roads had any snow on them. But that doesn’t really work well with young kids who aren’t big enough to step in without the steps or older parents who have a much easier time getting in with the steps. So this year I put Weathertech mud flaps on hoping they would help. They help keep snow off the rocker panel but that’s it. Snow still builds up on the hinges of the steps. They’ll go up when they’re supposed to but not enough to stay stowed. We’ve had snow for a little over a week and I’d throw them in the garbage already if I could. It’s frustrating as hell that these things that cost me $2000 aren’t designed to function in a market that they’re sold in.

Any help would be appreciated
