Honda recalled a bunch of rear windows back around '86 or so because of this -- as they said, the defoggers were too strong. Never heard of any other vehicle suffering from it. I'm too lazy to go look, but I rather think that the manual for the van points out that they're for defogging, not defrosting. Or maybe it was for a Corolla -- this memory stuff is starting to get tricky. Yours, David |
