My 2009 Range Rover has the factory heated windshield in the same fashion; you don't even see the heater elements unless you're up close AND looking for them. I don't need glass right now, but hopefully in the future they get a US distributor.

Just fyi it is a 10 amp draw. You may want to calc what you have already.
Just so you know if you'll need to upgrade your alternator. With my budget I'll be waiting for the ebay DIY heated windshield kit. |

Is that glass or plastic? Plastic will micro scratch every time it's cleaned.

Chris,
As I messaged in my text I’m in for one! No rush on my side of things either so if it develops to a better product then by all means. |

Look at your eyeglasses. Plastic is too soft. |

Adding onto Jeff's electrical curiosity--- I wonder if the heater wires in the windshield will act as a Faraday cage, and block RF signals like GPS and cell signals.
In theory, should. Chris QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Jul 1 2026, 07:00 AM) I contacted the manufacturer asking: "I was wondering if your wired windscreens could be used as a radio antenna?" His reply: "Hi Jeff, Had a chat with Ricky and if you got an amplifier off like an old Saphire Sierra then yes this actually could work. I couldn’t say if the heated function and everything would all function at the same time but in theory yes.
