Rear Window Demister

MalithS · 02-24-2012, 05:04 PM

Hi,

I've noticed something strange with the rear window demister on my F10. When its turned on only the bottom section seems to clear the window while there is a strip at the top that doesnt look like its being cleared. Is this normal? Can anyone check their F10 and let me know? The attached photo shows what I normally experience.

Mine too... when it is demisting... but when it's got ice on, the whole thing works... perhaps it's the temperature....

The top wires belong to the radio antenna.

Shark fin is for GPS and Sirius. Top wires are for FM/AM stations.
