Maybe this is not the greatest time to bring it up since winter is over, but does anyone know how to increase the wattage to the rear window defroster? As it is now it really sucks and takes a long time to melt snow.

hmm i'd go ahead and buy a snow scrapper and scrap the snow off... increasing voltage can be harzardous to you and your car's health [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Yeah it really does suck...but still it is not the snow that I have the problem with...it's the condensation in the inside that I hate.....it's weak...

I've rented many cars that can melt a light covering of snow off the rear window in the time it takes to warm up the car. Even as a defogger the rear defroster is weakass. Come on guys there's got to be way to increase the wattage to them.
