Default Windscreen sits on Mondeo

During the evening I notice it more. Why are ther loads of small dots or something on the front windscreen. It seems to blur lights a lot. It seems like there’s maybe a film or something on the windscreen.

Are you referring to the Heated Windscreen?
The Titanium has this feature, not sure about Trend...

Or are you just making reference to the Black Dots around the edge (Frit Band)?

No. Not the black dots. The windscreen seems to have a sort of putting effect. Loads of, What seems like, small dots. Maybe half a centre spaced apart. I’ll try get a photo.

Ok. Close inspection in the day reveals it’s very thin wires going up and down the windscreen. So it seems the Trend has windscreen heaters? Not fantastic for Brisbane. Haha. And now that I see the wires, quite off putting. Definitely effects clarity of vision.

How long have you had the car for?

The windscreen has far better clarity than the previous MC Titanium's I used to own...

Thing is though, it works...

Wait for winter or when the car fogs up and you will see that it works a treat.

I have also seem some YouTube clips of the windscreen dispersing ice / snow in European winters, defiantly does the job!!!
