You have a rear defroster? My year 2000 doesn't.

Or are you talking about the defroster for the rear window?

See those little lines that run accross the window? They're wires. They warm up like a toaster.

Think of the "line" that runs along the glass as a long resistor. It takes power from the car's electrical system; we know that power is heat right?


EDIT: Eli beat me to it.

I thought there may have been a chance he could have been talking about those things like in a car with rear seats where they have those rear air vents that take heat to the back area. I just never imagined that anyone could not see those little wires in the rear glass.

OR maybe he is looking for something that doesn't exist... since he does have a 2000 model.
