Default defroster...

MTR,

Don't expect much from the defroster.

As a heater, it is just enough to heat the drivers side foot box...at least take the chill off. This in Southern CAL at down to say 55 degrees. (If the car was closed it could probably hear the car).

As a defroster? The air just never seems to arrive at the windshield.

Its just a simple box and a little fan pulling through the heater core.

When I installed the heater I cleaned up the fiberglass trunks that lead to defroster bezels, sealed the seams, staightened the defroster hoses best I could...get nothing at the windshield.

When the heater doors are closed they do not really stop the flow...air always leaks around them. Try taping the doors shut on the passenger side and the front door...maybe pick up enough air pressure to get air to the windshield.

Overall, I am glad I have the heater...makes many drives more pleasant to have the foot box warm.

Pete
