Abstract
An arrangement for preventing mist and ice formation on the side window of a motor vehicle, primarily a rear side-window in the door of the vehicle. A fan, an inlet duct and an outlet air supply duct are arranged between an outer panel and an inner panel in the door of the vehicle below the window. The fan draws air from the vehicle interior through the inlet duct and blows air out toward the window which can thereby be quickly cleared of mist and ice. The outlet from the air supply duct has a plurality of outlet passages with air directed surfaces that are oriented for blowing air in diffreent directions over the window.
