On my old bug I used bailing wire to wire the heater valves open every fall, and then every spring I would take a pair of dykes and cut the wire free to close them up again.
You ever notice how many old VW owners have a towel or a rag with them in the front seat to wipe all the condensation off the windshield? If you wait for the defroster to do it for you you'll be there all day.
LOL! So did we! It was like a rite of spring and fall. The heater was either all on or all off. There was nothing adjustable about it.

Defrosters? They had defrosters?
VWs were not exactly a Wisconsin car. When it was cold, the Bug would start up every time. BUT I had to use the ice scraper on the inside of the windshield to clear it. When it was a little warmer, we had a small hand towel to wipe off the inside fogging and drips.
But ya know, I'd have another Bug for a running around town car. I could squeeze that baby into small parking spots, it was good on gas and as long as we adjusted the valves every 1000 miles or so and changed the oil periodically, it was good to go. And we could do the maintenance ourselves.
