Hey, does anyone know whether it's possible to get electric demistors/defrosters (like the rear window ones) for the front windscreen?

Ford has quickclear/instaclear embedded windows (ie. Ford Focus)

But is there one where it would be stick on, and have wires that are so fine that it won't obstruct view?

Lol nice one, i havent had any experience with using an aftermarket demister but a quick google search shows people using 12v hairdryers blowing through the vents, these (http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=12v+demister&_sacat=0&_dmpt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&_odkw=12v+heater+demister&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) or getting a custom windscreen done.

A friend in her rally car did have a whole bunch of hair dryers wired up for that, they worked. she eventually upgraded to a heater box. haha
Probably doesn't help at all, but yeah.

Haha yeah I'll need embedded ones. Cos I'm sure it'll really annoy me seeing heated lines across my windscreen

is the car road registered? There is no way any stick on piece of rubbish would be ADR approved.

I know the rental ford mondeo I had in germany had embedded windscreen defrost.... getting something equivalent in Aus would be near impossible I would say
