Not the best looking solution but 5 minutes to make and £6.00 for both sides (if you have to purchase the materials) and they work !!!

Bit more practice on the welding, and a bit more time with a grinder before painting, you could make that look fine!

I thought it was plastic so probably silicone and/or just meted plastic?

Could you not make a neater version using some high temp plastic tube? or even copper tube?
Theres also the more in in depth method of pulling the dash apart and adding some extra pipe work to the existing heater vents

Fair point!
Looking back he made it out of trunking.it would be possible to make it a bit more tidy with practice, though.

Yes you are correct it could be made to look like something from Kahn design but it was a solution to a misting problem and me not able to reach the passenger window to wipe it when misted up.Bit more practice on the welding, and a bit more time with a grinder before painting, you could make that look fine!
The trunking is UPVC and it is glued together dipped in a pot of paint - one demister that works.

Wasn't knocking it mate, it looks like a reasonable solution to your issue!
I was just suggesting that if you made more, it might be possible to improve the cosmetic effect.
Always get the doris to wipe the window myself, makes her feel useful!
