defrost rear windows?
what have you guys done to keep the fiberglass top windows clear during cold weather? I got a single wall that has proven to be difficult to keep visible with the cold weather lately.

Convert a hair dryer to DC and use it as a defroster.

Re: defrost rear windows?
not very practical to use while driving alone though, Does anyone else have problems with this also? I have no carpet so Im sure that dosent help any, but it is bedlined so Im not sure if that helps at all

Re: defrost rear windows?
get some anti-fog and wipe on the all the windows. It isn't perfect, but it helps.
You could also look for a suburban rear heater or one of cigarette lighter plug-in types like they sell at places like JCWhittney.

Re: defrost rear windows?
Any kind of air circulation will help also, one of those old style 12v fans like you see on the dash boards of big trucks might work.
A coating of liquid dish washer soap works as a anti-fog too. It's a moisture thing and very difficult to get rid of, so get creative and let us know what's workin' for ya. Last edited by vtblazer; 10-31-2007 at 04:24 AM. |

Mount it so as you just flip a switch.

Re: defrost rear windows?
I don't know if something like this would work or not, especially with a 40" minimum length.

Re: defrost rear windows?
Thanks 68, I think a 40X13 section would be enough coverage
