<VV> vent doors

[J R Read_HML]

Guy,

If it is raining, I'm either not driving that car OR (if I get caught away) 
the top goes up.  With the car moving and the vent windows open, there is 
really very little problem (almost none) with a foggy windshield.  Even with 
the shrouds removed, there is still some heat available - so in a situation 
where the car was parked and the windows got foggy, it would just take a bit 
longer to dry them off using the defroster.  This has happened, but is a 
very rare occurrence for me.  If I know I will be needing good heat, I drive 
the Rampside.

Later, JR
