defogger

Windshield clarity device

A defogger is a device or system that clears fog or condensation from a surface, especially a car window.

Most vehicles have a rear-window defogger—thin heating elements embedded in the glass that warm the surface to evaporate moisture.

Front windshields typically use directed airflow from the climate system instead: Turn on the defogger, I can't see anything.
