MY13> S,GS,XS & Dynamic do not come with heated windsceens as standard. I had to spec it on mine as part of the cold climate pack which includes heated washer jets

Only you posh bugggers with HSE and HSE Lux have it as standard. Well when I say standard the price has most likely been incorporated into the vehicle

I used my winter park wipers briefy yesterday and the wipers do not sit where they normaly do when driving the car. I was under the impression that they would only move up once the car has been shut down.  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Looking at the headlamps and grille in the photograph, this looks like a MY2010-2012. Thanks for the confirmation on the MY2013 though, I didn't know that.

No worries Badger

Forgot to add that the run out MY15 models now have the heated windscreen and washer jets as standard!

2. Never leave the can in your car overnight as the chemical agent in cold temperature reacts and thus stops working and does not melt the ice on the screen.

but the act of squirting out of an aerosol can cools the product anyway? as does hitting the frozen screen At work

My de-icer is in my car year round and never had a issue come winter defrosting

I think the moral of that is don't use Carplan de-icer  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I don't use any at all, horrid stuff, scrape n go

What you have failed to notice is that she left her engine running while de-icing and some Jeremy Kyle viewer has jumped into the drivers seat to nick the car. She is actually spraying his face through the open door in the hope of blinding him as her CS is in the glove box.

Learn from her mistake, and don't make it easy for the scum.

Side windows aren't

Apart from the side rears of course

Noticed today my side rears (not the rear seat windows, the ones behind those) have what looks like either aerials or heating elements in the glass. They didn't defrost today, and tbh I never noticed I had them before. Are these supposed to defrost with the rear window ?
