Heated Windsceen Strange Visual Effect

[Johnthepotter]

Driving in the wife's Mini today we turned on the heated windscreen and discovered that when switched on it caused a strange wobbly visual effect - much like looking through a heat haze. Both of us noticed the effect and commented on it at the same time. I switched screen on/off several times and always created te same effect Anyone else noticed this - try and and see !!.

Is it getting too hot?

On my R53 you couldn't even tell it was on by touching the glass, I think it only gets slightly warm

I noticed this the other day on my wife's Countryman, it's really strange and doesn't happen on Range Rovers or Transits which have the same style of screen heating.

I'm glad someone else is seeing this. we wondered if it was too much wacky backy!!
