windows...

Ah, how times change. Nowadays a car's defroster automatically turns
on the ubiquitous AC to dry the air. In the old days you had to turn
on the heater to blow heated air across the windshield. (Cold air,
hot air, how does it know what to do?) The old VWs would blow hot
air up from the engine cooling shrouds in the back. During the first
few minutes it would dry the inside of the ducts, and all that water
would immediately condense on the windshield.
You have a round-tail Spitfire? Does not your heater control say
"Heat/Defrost" on one end of the heater control?
