Thread: Windscreen #2

Not totally sure but I always thought front heated windscreens with the filaments embedded in them were not legal in Australia.

My D4 has a heated windscreen as original, it is very effective. You do get used to the lines.

Not sure about legality, but it's a genuine replacement

Should have a switch on the Hevac Unit to turn on/off.

Should also have heated seats, washers & s/wheel as part of the cold climate package for Aus.

OR

They just stuffed up.......surprised?

Weird, ill guess ill get used to the squiggley lines.

A fight with an insurance company?

No. Never happened.

I can't wait for my first windscreen claim with youi as I changed to them recently...I can only hope they play nicely.

Out of curiosity: did they allow you to choose who performed the work?

Just my local obrians as that's all that's really here in a small town. They did a great job! Still not 100% happy with the wrong windscreen.
