Maybe mine came on too? And i compensated by never pushing the lever all the way to defrost? Left it split floor and defrost? The hatch ice crunch? Def did not remember that on my 1999. Or maybe i used the remote rear window button instead? Damn that is the last straw! Seriously the ice...

Sorry people with 2wd are not qualified to comment on defrost issues. Sometimes on a trip you want the right combination of air that is not so dry and just the right temp bit still keeps the windows clear. Renting would have been a great idea. Wish i had thought of that. I am def not a savvy...

Just want to compare notes. And by that i mean ***** about my 2013. Poor design on door gutters. If it is raining and you open a door you will get water on the seat every time. Do not remember my 99 doing that. AC. Turns on automatically if you turn the hot cold dial too far. Or the...
