    I have a heater that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It defrost pretty good in a pinch. I don't have any problems keeping the inside the car warm

        Had it when I went in '11, kind of needed it leaving Topeka....but now it's not in the car, and I kinda want to leave it out. The defroster doesn't do much to defog the windshield anyways. A towel works better.

                After the storm me and Quick52 were in coming out of Milan
                in DW 10 we needed the defrosters, towels and you name it..
                we(and along with everyone) were down to 15 mph on I-75
                and I was wiping the inside of the windshield every 30 seconds
                so we could see.... we fogged up big time.. at that point I said
                I WILL have wipers and defrosters of some nature... that was
                running through Ohio and they had a tornado a few miles ahead
                of us... water was deep everywhere

                  Never leave home without them. Cannot remember a DW when I did not use them.

                    I had them '05 to '07, had them out for '11 and '12. Heat was nice in the Northern swing in '07, used towels for the Memphis to Tulsa rain out leg last year. Didn'r really miss the heat/defrost. More important to have good wipers which I've had every year I've gone to DW.

                      Rain-X and towels, and I do have one wiper. I'm thinking about one of those heater/defrosters that plug into a power outlet. My car has NO room inside. With two people inside, just a jacket was all we needed to stay warm.

                          This is the unit I bought for heating... I'm building a box section
                          on the back so it will pick up the inlet air from inside the car and
                          that way I wont see the motor or the water lines

                            Ive installed a vintage air compac heater and defrost unit. I hate driving without a defroster, and it is a slow street car.
