DanGersFord Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Most of my heated windscreen works fine but theres a small section of the glass (annoyingly right in the middle of the drivers side) that doesnt clear the screen when turned on. Is there anyway to fix this short of replacing the full screen? Its a fiesta mk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I believe it's a full screen job. This happened to my mums fusion, luckily she got a non repairable stone chip and had it replaced that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peange Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Depends how bug the gap is. I thought the same with my Fiesta. Turns out there's just no wiring in the middle of the screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peange Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ahh apologies, I didn't read it properly. It's the middle of the whole screen that has a gap on mine. Forget what I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lol no its like literally right in front of the driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordey Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Depends how bug the gap is. I thought the same with my Fiesta. Turns out there's just no wiring in the middle of the screen! Mines the same. About 1cm wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanstanley4 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi I have a fiesta with heated windscreen. Is it a straight line down the center of the screen as i have this on my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 No if you sit in the drivers seat its a straight line about 4cm wide directly in front of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanstanley4 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sorry im not much help, I do have a line down the centre of myn that is about 1cm but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thats apparently normal right in the middle of the screen. As previous posters have said its looking like the heated wires in the section i am describing have burnt out. I'll just need to put up with it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
