Hi,
it's starting to snow in Austria and I wanted to try out the headed windscreen to get rid off a small layer of snow, but not much happened.
My first thought was, that the windscreen heater doesn't work at all, but I experimented with it during the last few days and it looks like it does get slightly warm after turning it on for 3-4 times (the heater deactivates itself after some minutes).
With slightly warm I mean that it still feels cold to my hand, but not as cold as the area of the glass without the heater wiring.
The the rear glass heater works file and the glass feels reasonable warm when touching it.
Has anyone tried the front screen heater and can tell me how yours behave?
How long does it take to get warm and does it actually get warm?
Because I can't imagine that mine works as intended as it's pretty useless.
I also noticed that, when activating the rear heater, I can hear a click (probably a relay) from the fuse box behind the glove box, but I don't hear the click when activating the front heater.
Thanks, Philipp
