Rear defrosters...

So my IROC dosent have any rear defrosters, nor does it have a button for it. Does this mean anything, like where my car originated? If a car was ordered in NY state, wouldnt it have to have defrosters?

Thx

It's an option i wish i didn't have. Certainly it's a more common option for cars that were sold in the winter states. Since i don't drive the car in winter, I don't need it, and the window looks better without them.

Yes sir

I dont drive it in the winter, I was just wondering if you had to order them if you were in NY state.

My car is originally from Phoenix, AZ, so it doesn't have any rear defrost. Makes it a PITA for these KS/NE winters. The only good thing about it is, it makes tinting the rear hatch much easier.

every camaro/firebird i've ever owned has had the "dreaded" rear defroster. i don't use them and i don't like the way they look. plus they can get so hot, they will cloud your rear window.

Now I wish I didn't have it... looks better without it. I don't use it anyway cause I'm afraid it will mess up my tint.

IROC: You should tint your windows. Get limo and back and 20% on the sides so it can look just like mine
