Thumbs down Very weak rear window defogger...

I've noticed this a while back but forgot to post it.
It takes heck of a long time to clear my rear window, unbelievable 15-20 minutes, when I had an '88 Olds Delta 88 it was within 5 minutes that I had a clean window.
Is this only the case with me or anyone else noticed it also?

Mine takes about 3-5 minutes depending on how bad the frost is. I'm happy with it.

Mine works pretty fast, like acura3200, depending on how much frost there are.

Maybe you should get it checked out by, might be a short-circuit somewhere.

I think there might be a gap somewherer connecting to the thin metal wires across the window. Go through all the metals, or lines and check for gap(s). If there are gaps, there is a product which you can buy at any carparts store , i don't know what is called, that can fix things such as those.

Good luck with it...

Well it does seem to take a while to defog my rear window. It takes me about 8-10 minutes to completely defog. There seems to be a lot of water droplets on the rear window. It's not like it's freezing here in Houston, just a lot of moisture I guess.

I've noticed this as well. It does seem to be a while before I can even start to see the frost go away. usually I'll have to wait at least 10 min and it won't clear up until about 15 min from when i started the car. I't ok, depending on how much of a hurry i am in.
