Stick-on rear window heating?
10/26/2019
What you may have had to pay extra for as an option on this Volvo 145 at the Geneva Motor Show has long since become standard: the rear window heating. It ensures a good view to the rear and reliably prevents the rear window from misting up in damp weather.
If you used to own a car without this practical accessory, you could fit a stick-on rear window heater. This was an adhesive film with heating wires that was stuck to the inside of the rear window. To supply it with power, the vehicle electrical system or the cigarette lighter was simply tapped into.
Question for readers
If there is anyone in our readership who has a photo of this accessory (perhaps even a picture during "installation"), we would be very pleased if you could send it to the editorial team.
Addendum October 29, 2019: A reader sent us the following photo, thank you very much!
