back in the 50s and early 60s the most common demister was held onto the windscreen by two suction cups..
one each end and a coil that heated up...
May be a bit hard to find these days...
other than that... a 12 volt hair dryer stuck into the demister vent under the bonnet should work OK...

I read that WD40 sprayed onto the inside glass and wiped over will stop the windscreen from fogging up...
two pairs of sox and a hot water bottle may also help the driver
