robah Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 You can still get them manufactured/new from some auto glass companies, I think https://www.autowindscreens.co.uk/ is one, as someone posted on here recently having one made with the bronze tint. I think you have to have them fit it, but the price seemed good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bris jas Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 As i'm not fitting a heater to my project i have just received my heated front screen for the 2nd time, last Friday it turned up cracked. Anyway small bit cheaper than above but it suits my project better but will have to fit yourself. It comes clear so no tint and from https://www.heatedwindscreen.com/acatalog/opel-manta-b-heated-windscreen.html 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrpeah I contacted him about it, think it was 450+vat, not cheap but cheap for heated front screen. I have not seen any feedback from people that have one off him(clear) about the fitment, gauge of wire etc, so I did not order yet. Just told paintshop to put old one back fir now(silver coupe). But be interested to hear what you think/how you get on if you would not mind when you fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it up against my old one earlier and looks good size wise but proof will be when i fit it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with 2 circuits in the windscreen, they have to be wired up seperatley through 25 amp relays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest we have a new Mini with heated front screen and this is no different apart from no tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks so much for that, yeah it is very clear no danger of it drawing my eyes. Will be making the orders now for sure with him for front screens 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
