    Quick fix

    RACWA or any mech can do a bypass with one of the existing heater hoses, or any same daimeter hose; just loop it back to bypass heater pipes. Doesn't have to flow coolant so kinking of hose is not a problem.

    Working aircon suffices as demister

    Heater may be bypassed or omitted.
