| Senior STI Driver | Re: rear defroster on stage1 Thanks guys, Now I got to find a way to move the thread to the Interior/Electric side of the forum!  On the other hand for an 07 that POS of defroster at least should make some scars in the ice. I'm debating if I need to take to the dealer or just follow the wires myself with a voltmeter! |

| Senior STI Driver | Re: rear defroster on stage1 Coming back to following the wires: I got 6V DC at the middle. Then it tappers down to about 2V DC at the sides. The top part shows no voltage (looks like a different circuit). Is this normal for an 07? I put also my hand and in the middle I can feel a slight warm sensation! |

IWSTI Addict since: Jun 2007 Trader Rating: (2) | Re: rear defroster on stage1 This is a prime example of why "search is your friend." I was going to ask about this today... Anyway, two days ago was the first in the snow and I bet it took more than half an hour to clear my rear window with defrost. So they just suck? |

IWSTI Addict since: Sep 2007 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: rear defroster on stage1 I'd love to hear a reason why. I never had this problem with my WRX. Is there any difference between the glass used in the STi and glass in the WRX? Really miss that wiper de-icer also. These are the only two things I wish I had in this car. |

| Silver Member | Re: rear defroster on stage1 My STi deforster is serious. That thing will melt and amount of snow on it in a matter on minutes. I have never had a problem. Of course I also rain-x my rear window. Maybe that has something to do with it sticking to it. I too wish we had heated side mirrors. I have trouble getting them clear. |

IWSTI Addict since: May 2004 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: rear defroster on stage1 ^ I second the power of the '05 defroster. Never had a problem, and they quickly melted the worst snow and ice that Chicago threw at them. However, my wife's '08 OBXT has wiper defrosters! I wish I had them when I lived in Illinois. Now in Florida, we don't need no stinkin' defrosters. |
