Defrost without exchangers ? Options

[Literati914]

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?

Being 20 and knowing everything. I stripped the heat exchangers off my 1st 914 to save weight along with just about anything else that wasn't welded in.

That was fine when I could afford to buy what we used to call "winter beaters" and store my 914 in the winter.

Then I got out of the military and was broke. Had to drive it in the winter.

Coleman propane heater strapped into the passenger seat beside me and a ice scraper withing arms reach. Forget fog, I used to get ice on the INSIDE of the windows from my breath condensing and freezing to the cold glass. Tried to usually leave a window down a crack . . . . needed to vent the CO somewhere. Definitely not recommended. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Oh, and in case you didn't know, heat rises. I can't tell you how many times I arrived at a destination a few hours away with numb feet.

Oh, to to be 20 again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

By and large, RainX on outside and RainX anti-fog was the way to roll but I assure you it won't always work, but, it is better than nothing at all.
