– Why can’t front windshields have the same defrosting method as rear windshields?

2.70K views

The rear windshield defrosters seem so much more effective. Is it just the lines across the drivers field of view that makes it decidedly unsafe?

Ignoring the modern high tech options, you can put a rear style on the front. Meaning the big chunky wires running across it. It’s fine a lot in racing because it’s cheap and easy to install. We did it in our amateur race car, bought a diy defrost kit and installed it inside the front windshield. In our case it’s because we have to keep the windows open while racing, even in the rain, which often leads to really fogged windshields. The diy kit + OEM blower do am amazing job.

In a street car the wires would drive you mad. On the race track is really easy to tune them out. I don’t notice them at all anymore. But on the street when you’re not having to concentrate so hard you’d see them a lot.
