Hello Steve,

They definitely point forward, toward the glass. I've never seen one
pointing backwards. The demister hardly works anyway, and pointing them
backwards would totally defeat their purpose.

Cheers,

David

OK, so here's a question for a slow day.  The MGA defroster slot 
finisher piece has a scoop shape to direct the air.  Common sense 
would say that this scoop should direct the air toward the 
glass.  But when I go to car shows, I see a small number of cars with 
these scoops mounted the other way.  When I look at vintage photos 
and videos, it looks like they point toward the glass, though it is a 
difficult thing to see clearly.  So, my question is, is it in fact 
correct for these to point forward toward the glass?  And is there 
some other reason some of these are reversed, other than installation 
error?  I did have one guy tell me that his rear facing outlets were 
correct, and everyone else was wrong!
