I understood that part. It's the "I cry foul" part I don't understand. What's to cry foul about?
Anyway, I took a section of 1 7/8" pvc tube, layed out drilled all the holes, glued on the end caps, cut the capped tube in half on the band saw, and heated it so I could bend it to follow the curvature of the windshield; a little foam along the edges to form a seal where it contacts the dash. It works great at distributing the hot air along the length of the glass.

i really need to get on this before the winter come.
How does the airflow feel coming out of many small holes vs. one big vent?
