Re: [T3] Keeping the windows clear?


Nico:

I'm down-island from you and drive my T3 daily.  As Steven mentioned the
heat in our cars comes from the engine first to the heat outlets in the rear
seat, then to the footwell outlets and finally to the windshield.  You have
to close the rears and footwell outlets to get any airflow to the
windshield.  The gas heater just blasts heat at your left leg as you drive
and won't do much for your visibility. In order to keep the windows clear I
have to close the rear seat vents and footwell vents and often I have to
crack my vent windows and/or side windows as well.  It is wet here and old
VWs have a tough time keeping fog-free.  My rear window is never clear
except when I start out in the morning (covered parking helps a lot!) but my
windshield and side glass stays pretty clear.  There are products that are
supposed to stop the fog from forming on glass and mirrors but its been
years since I tried them and I can't remember how much they helped.  Locally
I picked up something called 20-10 fog b gone or something like that.

Good luck,
Andre
