What about the demister for the windscreen? (SVA)

I found when I first ran up my TR7 V8 that the thermostat was very late to open, this was due to air traped underneath it, drilling a 3mm hole fixed this perfectly.

Of course it may well have been alright anyway once it had opened once but I preferred to be safe.
