Stoney871 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have carried out a couple of distraction procedures in my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Just how reliable are these 'Quickclear' windscreens, I must admit I'm !Removed! annoyed! I bought a new Fiesta in 2002. The first winter I used it about 10 times and it was OK. The following winter when I put it on it only worked across a third of the windscreen. I had it replaced under warranty but didn't use need to use it for a couple of years as I'd got a company van to drive. When I did eventually use it there were sections all across the screen that weren't working. I didn't bother having it replaced again. I bought a new Fiesta in March 2012 and, on the second time I used it, there was a narrow section on the passenger side that wasn't working. I'd asked the salesman when I bought it about these windscreens and he told me they never had any problems with them. I just wondered if they were all faulty - you'd think, after 26 years, Ford would have got them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't, it makes the posts a bugger to read on a phone screen. Blue on a black background is a horror. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Dont think you can change the colour on the phone anyway which is what I use most the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanstanley4 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Nice ;), I would like an ST but I drive about 80 mile a day so its not that practical :/. Maybe one day haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Dont think you can change the colour on the phone anyway which is what I use most the time Very true. The colour can't be changed on a phone but the colour as set on the full site is carried over to the mobile site. If the automatic colour tab is selected on the website then it comes out white on black on the mobile site. If it's set to black then I just see a blank post. Gripe over :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

refdt Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 i read some where if you have windscreen cover/fully comp that you can claim for a new front heated screen if it stops working.not sure how true this is but might be worth looking into just have to pay your excess.

sambooka Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think your windscreen has to be damages either chipped badly or cracked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Cracked - for example by pouring boiler water on it when it's frozen as the heating elements don't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
