Oh yeah, mine originally had a/c. I said it was simple but not easy. It is by no means easy.

I do have a windshield drip on heavy heavy rains. There must be a bad spot in the silicone bead i have around the outer seal ;)

Car is Non-AC, so it shouldn't be too bad. It has done this every year I have owned it (5 years) and every winter is a pain in the ass to defrost the window.. figuring it will be worse now that its diesel.. wanted to switch it out before winter! I am totally just gonna pull the seats and dash, i hate not having enough room and the dash comes out with like 7-8 screws.

I know for fact the parts car had a great heater core, as it even being a diesel in the dead of winter when i would go out and run it.. would have the window steaming on the outside in minutes of idling even! When they arent making any real heat! I mean a new one is like $60...

how new is it tho? a used heater core is never a good idea honestly, unless you KNOW when the last time was that it was replaced..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
