Rear Demister Kit

wazza

About 25+ years ago there were cars on the road which came without a rear screen demister. I got a kit from Charlie Brown. You stick the heating element on the rear screen and wire it up. Can you still get this kit nowadays? Friend has a Nippa Peruda and is fed up cleaning the rear screen in today's wonderful summer weather :-(

If the kit is unavailable what is the best solution for reducing condensation of the rear screen? I have suggested..

1. get a sponge on a long stick so she can wipe the rear screen from the driver's seat

2. smear fairy on the inside of the rear screen, or

3. slightly open the rear windows, thinking that inside the car will be humid.

Do a google for "uk rear screen demist" (without the quotes), turned up this one http://www.triumphshop.co.uk/Quiller/Parts/partsnewproductswindscreendemister.htm (maybe many others).

I remember fitting a couple of these in the late 70s - nostalgia... lol.

Have already done the above. Was hoping that a high street shop may carrying something like this

I doubt that you can get that in a high street shop but I vaguely remember that they're occasionally advertised in classic car magazines like Practical Classics.

I also think that you can get some chemicals to put on the inside of the window that help to prevent the window from misting up. I think there's something called Fog-X from the same people who make Rain-X and I've used similar stuff on the windscreen of a Fiat X-1/9 that used to fog up badly.
