I noticed in Classic & Sportcar this month that URO Glass now do heated windscreens for some classic cars. Anyone who has owned a car (Mondeo, Focus etc) with one of these will know that they are fantastic at instantly demisting the screen.

I have contacted them to see if they can be persuded into producing a screen for the 911 as the aircooled 'heater' is not the best... maintaining 4000rpm to get enough hot airflow to demist can be worrying on a icy day...

I mentioned to them that I would ask amongst the club to assess the potential market, this may encourage them to lay down a tool. I do not know what the price would be, but they do a heated screen for the Beetle for only £125, so less than £200 would be a reasonable guess.

If any of you would be interested then let me know.
Thanks
 
What a great idea - I wonder what sort of commitment they need to produce them? I would certainly be interested, please keep me posted.

Great idea, my blower fan has stopped working at the moment, wiping the screen with a dimister pad isn't that good! Keep us posted as to what goes on.
 
Blower fan... what luxury[;)]

Good to see you have now joined us pre blower fan 911 owners in the excess revs and demisting pad techniques! I use a window cleaners wiper blade, the best trick yet!

I will post any information I get from URO, no response yet.
 
I have now spoken to URO Glass and they already do a 911 heated screen. Its green tinted unfortunately, but I'll live with that. Cost is £205 +vat +£35 postage.

The have a delivery of 15 screens arriving in May.
