vacavillebob Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have a question. I have never needed to use it so do not know how it is suppose to work. Does it just blow air or does it also heat. I turned mine on and it does not get warm, it just blows air. Is that how they are suppose to work or is the heater part broken.

502ci Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just blows air, when your car warms up it starts to get more effective. Don't expect it to melt snow off your back window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 In the Northern Climates, they were pretty useless in the winter for clearing the back window.....I remember it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacavillebob Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 OK good to know that there is no heater element in the unit. Now I know mine is working like it should. Thank you everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Actually, I remember back in the day they were called "rear window defoggers" and not "rear window defrosters"...at least up here anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yes, just a defogger. That thing would take forever to defrost. Get the scraper out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
