I'd recommend fitting a proper (ie coolant heated) demister. The electric ones tend to be pretty pants, which when you consider how much energy a car gives off in waste heat is easy to understand....

The small demist units from the likes of CBS are okay (for SVA) if you have two. The bigger units are better but they sure make your alternator work hard..... It makes more sense to fit something which just uses a small amount of the waste heat you'ld otherwise be getting rid of via the radiator....

I do not live in Venice city, I live in Campalto (very near to Venice city). Hope you like Italy.
Ciao Rudy
