Hello all,
Did a search on this issue for this forum and came up with someone having issues with their heated mirrors, so new thread...
I live in Southern Ontario and we got a blast of winter this evening when driving home from Stratford after a 18km hike with friends.
So the car is cold and full of warm bodies exhaling warm air. The windows steam up and eventually the front window's clear. The rear passenger door windows stay fogged up, but this does not bother me as a diver.
I turn on the de-fog for the rear window and the window does not clear and i have very poor visibility out the back which is not good when driving in a snow storm. As we have had a pretty mild winter this year in Ont., this is the first time that I have really had to use the rear window defroster / defogger. The warming electrical lines embedded in the window were not clearing anything and I am pretty sure that they are not working at all, although not sure how to confirm this.
Much later the rear window did clear, but this was 50min later when the entire interior of the car had warmed.
Has anyone else had an issue with the rear defrost?
Any helpful replies are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
