Title: Fulvia heated windscreen
Post by: Jai Sharma on 07 March, 2024, 08:26:01 PM
Hello all,
I am replacing the screen in my Fulvia and wondered whether anyone has experience of using the heated front screens that are now available? I am not intending to use the car in winter rallies, mainly dry weather but can’t exclude the odd rainy day.
Thanks

Sounds like a good idea, especially if your heater doesn’t work well, which is quite common.

At the risk of stating the obvious, be careful about the amount of current draw. If you’ve changed to LED lighting you might be ok, but the standard alternator would otherwise not provide enough amps for night driving.

I see that Omicron have just fitted one to a Fulvia, so might be worth a quick call to them.
