Just how effective do you think that a warm air blowing out of a couple of slots is going to be when driving along at 50mph, with no roof or side
screens? I seriously doubt whether any warm air will ever reach the screen, even at 30mph!

Rain X might keep the mist off? Might be worth a try.

Can't see the need for demist in an open car - the air 'outside' is basically the same as the air 'inside'.
In a closed car or convertible with hood & sidescreens in place, the conditions differ on each side of the screen and it is the difference that
can lead to misting - such as cold outside -> cold glass; breath/humid air inside leads to condensation.
Just my 2p.
I have a flyscreen on my MK but haven't yet been out in really cold weather...
I've run convertibles in the past (MG Midget and Dellow Mk VI) and don't recall misting with the hood down, whereas the Midget with hood
up was susceptible to misting up.

I was assuming you'd be using a roof aswell.

Maybe, in the dim and distant future, I might fit a 'Flintstones' hood. Until then, if it rains I'll just get out and put a cover
on the car... Yes - I am that fair weather driver!
I don't plan to fit a proper hood - last time I tried to get in a seven-style car with a hood on I nearly gave myself a hernia - and and
I've passed a lot of water under the bridge since that time!
