I still dont understand why they never fit those heater wires like the backwindow to the front windows... Problem solved imo?

Boil kettle, put hot water in hot water bottle. Place hot water bottle on the inside on top of the dashboard.

Get 1000w continuous inverter link it to a 2nd battery that is charged via relay switch/split charge unit, plug one of those cheap timeswitches into the 240v output then plug 1000w fan heater into the timer to come on 10 mins before you get in the car.
