Tom, you can buy aftermarket 'stick-on' rear window demisters.  Ugly but
they work.

The windscreen should have a demister vent ???   Maybe you need to clean out
the fan and check all hoses and plenums.   If you had aircon, the most
effective measure is A/C on, heat on, lever to recirc.

Clean the glass of all residue.  Cigar smoke and silicone sprays etc won't
help matters.

Old racers use a cut apple wiped on the glass and buffed off to get rid of
misting !!!

Subject: GTV test results

The test results for my 67 GTV are in. Tests conducted today in moderate
/heavy rain storm.

PASSED: watertight cockpit, doors, and windows
PASSED: engine starts in wet weather
FLUNKED: steamy windshield and rear glass.

Overall, I have to be pleased with those results, but anybody know the
secret to avoid heavy misting inside the glass? any special combination
of fan/heater/ or ...? Doesn't appear to have any kind of stock
defrosting system.
