Good tip. I got my car in 2005 and I always leave the Climate control on Automatic and to date have never had the rear screen fog up while driving. Those times I have used the heated screen (freezing weather etc) I have had no problems at all.
That being said I always clear the windows quickly with a window squeegy/scraper thing (trico) before moving off anyway and will never relly on a heated rear screen to do a job that I can do myself in seconds, happy for the heated bit to play backup (works well in heavy rain from keeping any water standing on the glass for too long).
Winds me up the amount of cars I see early morning with no rear visability because they couldnt be bothered to spend a few seconds making the effort to clear it and are relying on the heated rear screen to do the work, worse are the ones who havent even cleared thier side windows. Its not a hard job to do, takes no time at all, and in my opinion there is no arguement for not doing it (apart from Laziness).
Ps. Rant not directed at anyone here at all, but treat the heated window as a back up
only, you should NOT move off without it being clear anyway and no matter how effective the heated screen it will always take longer to do the job than elbow grease
