Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning fella 996 owners. Could anyone advise me if the hardtop demist generally has a poor performace. Mine seems to take three or four goes to clear the glass.

POST 2Original post

Hi, My hardtop seems to demist the rear withour any major problems, although I have noticed slight misting on the bottom ridge inside the glass which is a bit annoying. Does all the lines work on the screen ie any breaks?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All of the lines seem to have some effect on the screen, but it just seems to take ages, and does not seem to do it evenly. It seems less effective on the lower left as you look in the mirror. Where does the hardtop draw its power from? Could it be poor connectivity?

POST 5Original post

Just a tad Richard, however the heated seats helped [ ]

POST 6Original post

How does the hartop connect? If it is contacts which connect when you fit the top, maybe they are dirty. Pain in the neck to check though..... I know a man whose wife is a dab hand at fitting hardtops - eh Arbee? [ ]
