Rear Heated Windscreen

Post by thearmstrongs »

Could anyone help ? So as to avoid the expense and hassle of fitting new rear windscreen with a heater incorporated in my sons Moggy saloon, does anyone know of a universal heater kit than can be simply installed onto the existing windscreen? :D

I have wondered if such kits are available... why would they be of little use? Is there a fundamental difference between sticking something on and a factory printing it on?

My experience of these 'back in the day' is that they were pathetic/useless. But go ahead.......

I have used one on one of my cars and the work very well BUT they are a pig to fit in the car. Getting the lines straight etc. If you can take the screen out and fit it much better. Im sure mine came from ESM
