Slowwwww defroster, front, not back Options

I'm not quite sure why, but my defroster takes for f****n ever to defrost just my front windshield.

Is there any way to fix or "upgrade" the front defrosters.

lol I just saw this thread and saw some interesting points being made...

but the answer to Matt's question, albeit no longer relevant, because he DITCHED the 6gc is that the a/c must be on with either of the two defrost selectors, and the air must be set to NOT pull air in from the outside.

The reason this is the correct answer in this particular case is because in the Pacific NW where we get absurd amounts of rain, the air just has way too much moisture in it to be able to defog the windows w/out the a/c. Believe me, I've tried, I've experimented, I've taken note. On the rare occasion that we have these crazy dry cold spells, you can totally defog w/out the a/c and just the heat, and if you give it a few minutes to circulate the moisture out of the ducts, you can pull in the air from outside, too if you want. But when it's 40 degrees and raining, has rained or is about to rain (so basically for 8 months out of the year here) you've gotta have that a/c runnin. Sucks.

Edit: this also does NOT pertain to every single car out there, but I have found that it tends to pertain more to older model cars than newer models, like 2000+. I guess it has something to do with how the air is vented? IDK
