Noz Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi everyone, looking to buy a heated windscreen. Has anyone fitted one to a non-heated car before. I know I need a bigger relay for the current. Are heated windscreens a real benefit? I know mine steams up so I'm hoping it will helpful having one. Not that the icey days will be used much of course.

jackso11 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I never knew it was an option for a supra! Was it a factory option? That is one thing I would never buy a daily driver without now I have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptSapphire Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I believe that Garage Whifbitz sell them, might be worth checking out their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing I would never buy a daily driver without now I have them. I'm sure it's an option with Facelift Supra. Maybe an uncommon one, but as Corrupt mentions, Whifbitz sell them. I need a new one, and always wanted a non chipped/marked windscreen. They aren't as cheap, but then you'd expect that really with heating element.

Mine is a facelift but not aware of front heated screen being an option, I always thought it was an aftermarket thing. I'm sure others with more knowledge of the model options will be along to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Never heard of it being an option either and it's not in the model differences chart, but you never know. There were all sorts of strange optional extras offered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Have you got windscreen cover on your insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.wild Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I have one fitted to mine, supplied and fitted by Garage Whifbitz, definitely a benefit and if changing your windscreen then makes a nice upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a standalone switch off a 12v circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was done as a stand alone time switch running on it's own circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Needs to be a 20amp relay I believe. Speaking to Paul Whif he said its a huge current load. I'm having one collected in next week or so. Got a friend driving up. Whifbitz deliver but as they say,it's pretty risky and at own cost. I'd prefer to collect. Bristol isn't far from where I'm too either. Surprised it's not an Oem option though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My windscreen is scratched to buggary so was thinking of replacing at some point but didn't realise there was a heated one out there. The heated windscreens are the only good thing about Fords;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to be back fully on the road in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I doubt this was an option on Supras. Heated windscreens tech is owned by Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I doubt this was an option on Supras. Heated windscreens tech is owned by Ford. Yeah the Supra had a lot of good tech but never heard or seen anything about a heated windscreen. Pretty sure it’s not on the EPC either.
