It's not likely that you will ever get a heater that will clear the side windows. While you have the heater out of the truck clean those windows real good they probably have an anti-freeze film on them and then get some rainx and give them a good wipe-down. That should help with side visibility in bad weather.
The heater is a pretty simple piece and you should have no trouble taking it apart and seeing how it works. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | RainX should not be used on inside of the windows. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 38 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 38 | RainX should not be used on inside of the windows.

I've never tried the anti fog stuff, but I have a neighbor that got overzealous and applied regular rain-x to the inside of his glass and had problems with haze forming on the inside glass." from here. I also noted complaints about the smell on other forums. Personally I never thought about using it inside. They do make an anti fog rain-x for the inside.
