Alright Guys,

Can't see anything about them in the manual, but the back side windows on the tourer (the windows on either side of the boot cavity) have what look like de-mister strips on them, like the rear window. Strange thing is, the pattern is different on each window :unsure: . Don't know what that means, if anything.

Anyway, I've come to notice that when I select the rear window de-mister to be on, the rear window clears, but the steam/condensation on the back side windows of the boot don't clear. But as there's nothing in the manual about them I wonder:

Are these strips actually de-misters or something else, like for example to do with the security system?

If they are de-misters, am I doing something wrong to switch them on?

Or are they de-misters and they're not working? If so, any suggestions about what avenues to pursue to get them working?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

These are your radio aerials.... not demisters. If your getting condensation back here, check the airflow vents and make sure there's nothing damp in the boot (like a sweaty dog! : )
 
Yep also agreed :)
 
Well that would make a lot of sense given the non matching pattern and lack of radio arial anywhere else on the car :lol: . I ****** love Honda. Their design is so cool.

Well it rained buckets today and due to loading/unloading some stuff for work the car was parked with the Boot open for about 20 minutes. Hence the ridiculous misting up for the rest of the afternoon's drive. But thanks guys, this one had me and the Mrs puzzled.

:)
