I have noticed�the front windshield of a Chrysler "Grand Caravan" has electric defrost. It has the same type� defrost circuit on the lower window glass edge, ONLY where the wipers park.�
I'm 100% sure this is not to de-fog, but to�de-ice the glass and wiper edge.� This would prevent the build up of ice on the wiper while your driving in a snow storm.�
�
If you got it--use it.� I sold a rear glass with perfect defrost for $15 and thought I did well.. Not a big expense if by some remote chance your glass ever breaks.
