Sure, I will try these things on my way back home this evening. The
thing is its not the dry hard snow but is more like a slush.
Temperature here is close to 0C and I did not expect slush to say on
the window.
I hope your recommendations will work as stopping every 10 minutes on
highway to clean the rear window is not an option for me.
Is dealer right that is not a defroster but a defogger and does not
heat the window?
Thanks.
Yassir
