I'm stripping out a Smart Coupe just now and want to get the weight down to the absolute minimal.
I'd like to ditch the heater assembly if I can - any recommendations on aftermarket means of clearing a misting screen?
Yup, a lint free cloth is cheap, simple and does the job, but I was looking for something a little more pro-active!
Anyone aware of any aftermarket heating elements that would be suitable on a front windscreen?
PS - Smart doesn't have a heated front screen as an option.
Westfield sell a heated windcreen - but it will be not so Locost!
Doh - just realised it's for a Smart - scratch that suggestion!

yes, just dawned on me!
Try Ricky Evans motorsport, he is not far from me and does heated screens for alot of cars.
Cheers.

what about the electric one CBS do? you could then wire it to a 12v plug and take it out when not needed:

That's an interesting option! For all the time it would be used in the cold or damp!

Those small electric demisters are pretty useless, you only have to look at the wattage to know it ain't gonna do much, I put 2 in the footwell of the Furore to try & keep feet warm in Winter, I couldn't tell whether they were turned on or off!
How about a travel hair dryer? 
There is something you can use that stops things misting up. Problem is, I can only remember what the bike version is called (Fog City).
Someone did a car version, but as with everything on the internet, you have to know what it is before you search for it!!

I think you guys are missing the point, the hair dryers are the same wattage as the 12V demisters, ie they won't demist very much very quickly!!!
Maybe you could rob the electric heater from Nissan Leaf or similar - you'll need a BIG alternator though!
