No kidding.... My '79 SD cleared ice and snow better than this car, and I always read that the w116 had lousy rear defrosters compared to the later cars. I drove that car through four or five winters and never had an issue.
Both it and my '83 SD had several dead wires and worked just fine.
I guess it's a fluke? Oddly this car is the lowest-mileage and best-condition car of the lot.
The problem with looking for used in the yards around here is that I likely to find 'foggy' rear glass. I hate to install that on a nice car like this one.
Ask me how happy I am that I sent a 240d to the crusher two years ago with perfect glass
