Heated windshields

[PH4]

I have a round smiths heater to put in my Series but wondering if it wwwould be better to not mount the stock demisters and use a heated windscreen kit. Anyone ever use heated windscreens in a series? Opinions?

I have had them for a long time. They are really great to have. Even with the mansfield heater from RN it does not defrost as well as the heated windscreens. However, I just went to see about getting another set for the 88'' i am currently restoring and each pane is 400.00. Unfortunately this is more than double of what I paid years back when I bought mine. If you have deep pockets go for it, you wont be disappointed.

BTW, I dont know where you live , but if is somewher that gets a cold winter, the round heater is worthless. If I where you I would spend the 800.00 on upgrading the heater to a mansfield from our host instead of getting the heated windscreen, unless you have the budget to get both.

I live in the South where the round smiths is more than adequate on all but the coldest days.

$400 a pane is not going to happen. I may just try some rainex products

you can get them far cheaper than that, there was a group buy that was attempted on the G&R board about this a while back do a search there.

This company gets good recommendations from the folks on the Series II forum.

I've had heated windscreens for over a decade now and still love them. The other year I finally got around to removing the demisters. I never need them and they were just dead weight taking up windscreen & instrument panel space.
