Heated Windshield, anyone?, Save on shipping Options

[tygaboy]

After doing most of the work to add a heater core to my fresh air box, 3D printing some cool parts, fabbing the lines and buying everything else I need, I thought "do I really want all this when what I really need is a simple defrost function?"
I mean, I live in CA, don't drive the car if it's super cold or raining and I have heated seats. So the answer is "no, not gonna do it."

Instead, I'm going to order 2 heated windshields (one for the LS car, one for the Ferrari build) from Heated Windsceens / Ricky Evans Motorsports in the UK:

Cost is currently about $400 US plus shipping. When I told them I wanted two, they said they have to put them on a pallet and the shipping cost would stay the same if it's two or up to 5 or 6.

So... Anyone interested in a heated windshield?

As far as needed wiring, here's the response I got when I asked about wiring it:
To get the best performance from the screen it’s a 25A fuse and relay both sides to a single switch, you can do just a single circuit and rate it higher, attached the inner two wires on the screen but then it will take longer to warm up.

PM me if you're interested and we can work out the details.

I wonder if these could be used as an antenna? :thinking:

Are these laminated clear elements? Any photos?

It's a common racer trick to buy a rear window defrost grid and install it on the inside of the front windshield. Don't even notice it while driver after initial surprise.
