Saves scraping/de-icing in the winter, clumps of ice on the wipers etc. It just clears and stays clear

A quick squirt of de-icer does the job and the heater keeps it clear except in Canada in minus 45C with snow falling.
Maybe the stuff you get is better.. the deicer here has a tendency to refreeze again after a minute or so

Got the passenger side head off today 
There was heaps of coolant in the head and it spilled into the 4th cylinder
The cylinder probably ended up being 1/5th full of coolant and oil which is un-ideal. Put a bunch of rags in to soak it up.
Hopefully drivers side head off tomorrow!

Windscreen guys turned up 8am this morning, chuffed that I had removed all the trim. The new screen WAS heated and tinted(are they all tinted? I suspect so) but the metal mirror mount was for the earlier model so my 2001 mirror wouldn't fit the new screen. 5 mins with his cordless heat gun in an attempt to remove the mount off the new screen and.....CRACK.!
Another 7 days before the new new screen is here.

Unfortunately I'm not surprised.
Last time the guy came out to my train sensor.. instead of using silicon glue to restick, he thought gel hand sanitiser would be good.. it worked.. until he left.. then it started to dry out

Oooh a train sensor, is that for level crossings?
They are mostly unlevel crossings round hereOooh a train sensor, is that for level crossings?

few different types of screen with different tints /electrical options and rear mirror connector. Replaced mine with the most basic it still had all the gubbins.
This is how good it worked....Oooh a train sensor, is that for level crossings?

Not just ice. Way faster for mist and condensation on the screen. I wish the PO had replaced the one on my Jag with original as I miss the Rangie one. Rangie one is original as far as I know and still works a treat.
Just as an fyi, filaments on the autoglass screen started to fail quite quickly. None failed on the oem screen so far.
On a related note, only accept an oem replacement for the l322, any other generic replacement will not work, the spec is not the same, which is also why they don't fit properly (you get crack/pop noises from body movement, potholes and bumps in the road etc - this doesn't happen with oem)

Life time guarantee for as long as I own the vehicle I think I read. Does that include a free replacement if the elements fail do you know?
What limits?!
Wear and tear.. stone chips

Nothing that concerns a p38. Some kind of active thing, sounded very high tech. Other limits were a windscreen cracking when they are doing a chip repair, that's your fault, fitting a s/h window that breaks during fitting, again, your fault.

I'll have to house brick it every other winter to keep a working heated screen. This one genuinely cracked though, I wouldn't have had it replaced otherwise even though the heat stopped working a while back.
I noticed a lot of "white" showing once the trims were off so damp has been getting in which probably did for the elements. When it's eventually replaced I'll run some good stuff all around the screen edge to seal the glass layers real good before putting all the trim back. The white is mainly along the bottom and 6" up the sides, top is fine.

I guess trying to prove it was a manufacturing electrical fault and not a vehicle fault that caused the elements to fall would be nigh on impossible for the guy on the street.
