No preheat on my fusion, but I learned ages ago that running it for about 5 minutes while ice scraping, then shutting it down and going inside for 5, come back out and the heat soak in that time gives cabin warmth and demisting better and quicker than trying to drive off at that point.
So prep the car, then warm up inside and get stuff organised, rather than the other way round when it is icy.

Took dash & heater out today to sort out heater matrix. Noticed distribution flaps are slightly stiff, although the motor does move them. The gear for the top screen flaps is not turning the shaft properly. Discovered the square slot for the flap shaft is cracked, so although the top flaps move easily, the motor never moves them.
Also took the centre console out to make getting dash out easier. Found lots of previously dropped screws, etc. but at least I can clean around while it's out.
Carpet & underlay propped up to dry out. I have a heater in there at the moment but think of buying a small dehumidifier.

Get a dehumidifier it will collect all the moister where heater just dries one spot and moves it to another

Now my roof lining is out I can see where the water is getting in. There is a small drip coming from behind where the windscreen is bonded in. Iām going to run some black sealer round to close up the channel between the screen and the metal frame.
Dehumidifier ordered 10mins before your reply !!

Expecting to find similar on Otto when we get the lining out. Already have suitable sealant, plus a reel of sticky butyl rubber.
+1.
I borrowed one a few weeks back and it did nothing. Just going to dry mine out when the weather improves.

One of my dehumidifiers has a deicing cycle, it works, albeit slowly down to about minus 5C. The other two really don't work below about 10C.

Adding the heater will certainly speed things up.
