Traveller heated rear windows - any good?

Post by Neil MG »

A simple question for Traveller owners. Do you have problems with the rear windows misting up? And if so, how useful are the heated rear windows? The reason I ask is that I am at that stage in the restoration where I will soon be refitting the glass into the rear doors and I don't want to regret a) spending a lot of money unnecessarily OR b) not changing to the heated type while it was all in bits...

Love to hear any thoughts and comments...

I've got a pair for mine... but not fitted them yet :roll:

When I was driving it day to day, all the windows used to get steamed up very easily!

If these are the windows with the element built-in like every other car nowadays, it follows that they will work perfectly.

Small heated rear-windows are also available now for the early Minor saloons.

If, like me, you use the car every day, whatever the weather, then the rear heated screen are worth having, the front even more so.

I have them on my Traveller and swear by them. They take about four or five minutes to take effect and then I just switch them off and let the residual heat take the rest of the condensation away.
