Rear Window Heat Lines? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've found out somewhat recently that there lines heat up for ice and stuff. Can we get the car without this ugly contraption, or can they be taken off later?

No, It's standard equipment.. and for the second part I wouldn't try it if I was you...
Besides with it you can de-Ice and Defog the rear window. something very helpful... Where have you been for the last 20 years... most cars out there this is standard on now...

No need in Fla I'm guessing

I know its pretty much standard, but I hate the way it looks. It just looks cheesy and takes away from the "general cleanliness" of the vehicle. I've lived in Florida my whole life (almost 22 years now) and have never used these lines, nor do I foresee much usage for them in the future.

Sorry about that, but it just isn't possible... I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it... who knows you may have to come north some day...
Oh by the way do you want to get rid of the radio antenna in the window too? would you rather have a big flagpole sticking up on the rear fender? think about it...

I'll tell you one thing, I would rather a stick antena of maybe a retractable than that Euro looking shark fin thing.

I wasn't sure if there was a way to do it, because I've seen other jeep like mine without the lines. Yes, I understand I have an older vehicle, and it may have been an option then, but I don't know about now. Where is the radio antenna on these lines. I have lines and the whip on my jeep. I didn't know the antenna was incorporated in this as well. I DO want to get rid of that bulky fin on the roof, though.

No need in FL? My windows fog quite a bit, unless you are not planning on driving it is a good thing to have!

They've been used so little I don't even know know how use them. I'm curious to see em in action though.

Mine too. Definitely good to have.

Nah, just roll your window dawn every once in a while.

I have used mine here in lower Alabama, good to have when you need them.

Actually, that's exactly what I do. I don't use A/C, even though I have it.
