What are you guys without exchangers doing to de-fog your windshields? what are all options? I mean some people use a stand alone heater unit.. do those defrost also?

They do! I've seen it. Many times.

AC works great for defrost. I think pretty much all newer cars have a defrost setting that kicks on the AC to supply dry air. I've always wondered why the dealer installed AC didn't route the cold air to the factory air box somehow. Too expensive to retrofit I suppose. There has to be a clever way to do it.

How do you drive without heat exchangers though. All my friends and relatives in the Dallas area reach for down coats when the temp drops below 72 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
