#5 of 7 Ford Heated Windshield by tyc555 Dec 08, 2007 (9:51 pm)
Does anyone know if Ford has done anything about the heated windshield glare problem for the 2008 models? The last post on this subject seems to be a year old. Also, are there other Ford models with the same kind of problem (so I can check other forums)?

Some people find the pattern of the element very noticable and some people dont.   I only see it at night and I don't think its a problem. I have been on a test drive with a customer and asked them if they see the pattern, some people do, some don't.   If you are thinking about getting an Explorer with the heated windshield, then make sure you test drive one with it. And if it bothers you then don't get it.   Mark.
#7 of 7 Ford heated windshields distortion by nance4 Mar 05, 2009 (7:34 am)
Has anyone had problems with defects in their heated windshield? I've just bought a Ford Ka that's less than a year old and it's got a serious flaw in the glass on my right side peripheral view. It's especially noticable when I drive around right hand bends or turn right as the defect then comes into my direct line of vision. Oncoming traffic appears distorted and I have difficulty focusing. I asked Ford if they would replace the windscreen, but they said the windscreen warranty only lasted a month from new. Unfortunately the previous owner failed to report this major flaw, that was obviously overlooked by quality control at the factory, and now I'm stuck with a windscreen that's potentially hazardous. Ford have quoted £400 to replace the windscreen, but I can't afford it. I've written to their Customer Relationship Centre, but I doubt that they will be swayed by my appeal.
