Heated front screens are available - group buy?
Discussion
wires are through the scuttle and connected to a 'Puma' wiring with relays - I need to run positive and install a switch.
no fettling done, it sat quite nicely but the gap varied from near 10mm to near 2mm and due to wanting to drive to Spa on Thursday decided this was a reasonable solution - certainly better than the original s
t filling the gap.
And that trim looks very retro and in keeping with the age/look of the car - would loved to have had time to look at the choices though.

I understand your situation, and see the dilemma you were in. no fettling done, it sat quite nicely but the gap varied from near 10mm to near 2mm and due to wanting to drive to Spa on Thursday decided this was a reasonable solution - certainly better than the original s

The risk of using such a large profiled trim is that it restricts the requisite contact area (for the adhesive). Knowing these cars very well, if no trimming/cutting/fettling was done the chances are the screen is not adequately bonded if it is at all. Of course I cannot make any kind of assessment without seeing it, but just going by what you've said and how the end product looks.
That 's
t' can look fantastic if done correctly.

not cheap but they are Pilkington XXX and mine fitted fine.
I have connected the wiring (needs connecting as the screen is being fitted) but not yet energised it
I just ebayed 'Ford heated screen wiring' and purchased a while before the screen turned up. Then just measured where to make the holes through the scuttle. Very fiddly as you have to poke the wiring through from under the dash to connect to the screen then pull back through as the screen is lowered into position.
