As I recall there is a small wire resistance type heating element mounted on the black enclosure positioned so that it sticks up in the airflow. As acolds said, it takes a long time to get much heated air up on the glass. Probably good for a fogged up window and maybe some light frost but I wonder how effective or how large an area it would clear on a glass with a thick coating of ice.


I can't speak for the Packard unit but my 1965 Imperial LeBaron's rear defroster worked quite well and had no heating element. I later replaced it with a factory rear A/C unit which not only does the same job but also uses the same dash control switch labeled Rear Air for either option.
