rear defrost

Hi guys,

I'm wondering about some ways to improve the defrost for my truck. The side glass, and the rear window get really foggy/icy, and my heater while good, can't keep up. I don't have the ac vents on my truck to try to point at the side glass, and I'm trying to think of someway to improve my heating system. Anyone used aftermarket rear window defrosters, or come up with some better way to keep the side glass from getting foggy/icy? Thanks.

Ford had a factory electric type rear window defroster for these trucks.

They are as rare as hens teeth, but may be an option for you.

I treated the inside of all my windows with rain-x's anti-fog wipes. Seems to work fairly well. Front window still fogs up a little bit but defrosts fairly quick. Rain-x on the outside mirrors helps prevent moisture from staying on them and keeps them clear also. If nothing else it never hurts. Good luck

How are the door and window seals ? Sounds like it's time to replace them. Maby try a 192* thermostat too.
