| Description of the problem | My f-150 supercrew defrost does not work on the rear sliding window nor does the electrical defrost on the side view mirrors work. I have put forth significant time and effort to try and solve the problem, even so far as purchasing a new climate control panel. The only solution to get both defrosting (visibility) capabilities back is to replace the entire rear window. There is no bypass, or partial solutions. This becomes a safety concern when i have no rear visibility with mirrors (interior or exterior) during certain weather conditions. |
