Hey everyone, I've been looking into getting a heated windscreen fitted to the MKV golf. Obviously not an option but companies can make them.
I've been missing a heated windscreen as I've just changed from a Focus with a heated windscreen to the Golf GT Sport. I love the golf so much more! But it doesnt stop me from missing the heated windscreen. It is so useful, it clears misting and ice so much quicker than A/C does and in my opinion safer as you get quick clearing when you need it.
Anyway, I've had a response from a company I contacted (
http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/ ) saying they have previously made heated windscreens for the MKV golf but for the german market. They will be able to make some for £205 + VAT (£246) for a minimum run of 5 although I'm sure if we got more numbers it could be less. There is a lead time of 7-12 weeks for production so unfortunately it does mean that we wouldn't have it in time for this winter. But if we looked for getting it all ordered and sorted for next summer then we could have them in time for the next winter.
Before looking into it further I want to see if I could at least get the minimum number of people then look more into sorting out a garage that would fit and wire them in (maybe somewhere central for a meet and get more discount on fitting)
So I'm really hoping some of you guys are interested! Please let me know if you are and I'll compile a list. The more we can get the cheaper it will be I'm sure.
If you havn't tried a heated screen before I can assure you they are so much easier to use than normal clearing and its definitely a must have if you use your car a lot in the winter!
Cheers all, James
