its not really a heated screen like the ford quickclear setup, its really just a preset that directs warm air to the windscreen.

a friend had a mondingo ST 05 plate, with heated front windscreen i didnt like it you do notice the heating element in it, it gets rather annoying

[FarmerPug]

I thought it's only Fords that have them...

[FarmerPug]

I believe so its about the only innovation im aware of from ford since the model T

[grasmere59]

Don't quote me on this but i thought i heard a while back that Ford had the patent on the quickclear heated screen and that is why no other manufacturer can use them,might be wrong but come to think of it i can't think of any other make of car that has them.

[FarmerPug]

i think your right ford got a bit over excited at having invented something new.

[Busman]

New? Bristol and Leyland comercial vehicles had this in the 1970s.

[IN8]

Subaru Foresters have them too

[FarmerPug]

Lorries are bound to have them

Why's that then?

[claim to fame] My 1990 Ford Onion 1.6i Ghia had a quick clear windscreen, pretty cool to be fair but you could see the wiggly lines in the glass [/claim to fame]

my cousins mk4 escort rally car, has been stripped completley all that remains from ford is the shell and the quick clear windscreen.
