Guys:

I am guessing that at some point the line to the rear window nozzle passes under the vehicle with the other fore/aft piping. That means in subzero weather you must keep moving a column of heated fluid through chilled piping until you heat the piping sufficiently that it doesn't cool the fluid to the point of being ineffective in removing ice. My guess is that it would require at least two complete flushes of the rearward piping to work. I don't think the HotShot holds that much fluid. Doesn't seem very efficient to me.

I'd be curious to hear from someone who has used the rear bypass kit on an H2 in severe weather.

Let me say that I'm having the HotShot installed for use with my front washers to remove ice when I go hunting this winter. I understand it works very well in that mode.
