has been covered before try the search, but dont use autoglass use local fitting company was the moral of the story!
As above.
The big boys are certainly NOT the people to buy a screen from.
As for wiring, it depends on how competant you are and how you actually want it to work. A heated screen draws a lot of curent so you have to make sure all wiring & switchgear is up to the job. Some use a timer-relay so they hit the switch and the screen stays on for a pre-determined amount of time and then switches off automatically (usually about 5-minutes or so but that is determined by the timer-relay). That is fine if you are a forgetfull sort but personally mine is wired up to a manual switch becuase I am not forgetfull and I have found that even in the coldest of mornings I don't need more than a couple of minutes of heat.

For an easy life, buy the complete wiring loom from mobilecentre on the Internet. I did.
Just had one put in my 90 - £50 inc fitting - no wiring to it yet but it was cheeper than a normal one .
care to explain how? I'm keen for that price

Heres a link to the mobilecentre wiring loom I used, they do them with different switches also. Not cheap, but makes it a quicker job..
