1, Replacement glass w/o defrost. I recommend a safe lite auto glass type.
2, Lexan replacement. Saves a lil weight too.
3, Spend plenty time scraping with a razor blade.

All I can think of.

Yeah basically, or on rainy days its useful to me. In my case with the all blind spots on a vert, I 'll take all I can get.

^same here. never even notice it. i guess if i had absolutely no chance of ever needing it than i'd consider getting rid of it. but even then, i still don't really see the point. that is, unless i didn't have tinted windows, cause i pulled the tint off of the camaro roller i have, and the lines were really noticeable, but its getting retinted as soon as its done, so i'm not worried about it.
