Greetings everyone!

This is my first post here and I have a question. But, before I get to the question, I'll start by saying that I do not own a Porsche. I have had a Miata (2003) but sold it last year (needed the cash). Now the time has come again for another roadster and I'm seriously considering a Boxster. My budget (~$25K) allows me either a 2002 or a 2003. However, if I go with a 2003, my choices are limited. I'm considering a 2002 but I have a silly question....

How do you defog the plastic rear window?

The 2003 has the rear defogger but on 2002 models it doesn't have them. I live in Quebec, Canada and I expect to be driving the car into October. There will be some cool mornings and I'll need to see out the back. So, what is done to keep it clear?

Please be patient with me if I ask a few silly questions. If you have any other suggestions for a newbie to Porsche, please fire away. You can easily mention things that you would do today but didn't do when you got your last Porsche. I want to learn from your experience (mistakes).

Thanks for your comments.
