Seems like a common fault. However it was fine when I parked it up Sunday night.

I had had the rear screen on for a while on the way back, parked it up fine, came to it tonight smashed with nothing dropped on it.

It was a cold night but it was dry so don't think any water dropped on the hot screen, any ideas guys?

Also, Auto Windscreens are going to call tomorrow about a repair, but for those of you that have had one go, is there any issues with the fitting or aftermarket screens i need to be aware of?

Yep that's exactly what's happened, all lines are from the n/s heater tag

Thanks for heads up on the suppliers that's brilliant!

Few bits of glass inside the car and I know interior will get covered but likely to make a mess!

Has anyone ever had a replacement screen smash or is this an OE issue?

I'll check to see if my car has had the heater upgrade too

Just had the new screen fitted today

£75 and I got a Pilkington screen. The screen had never been changed before and the 3 auto Windscreens guys which came out have done a very good job, very tidy given the amount of glass.

I haven't had chance to call the dealer yet but in the meantime I'll won't be leaving the rear screen on for long as I use it in winter

Only bonus is that the really hard to clean bit near the rear brake light is now spotless!!
