on this subject, if anyone ever comes across a product called RAINGEN then grab it, its a chemical that changes the outer layer of the glass to that of a hydraphobic glass but whereas Rain x is temporary, Raingen lasts for 12months. Its used on aircraft generally but F1 uses it as well, really hard to get and not cheap, but definatley a good buy, you wont get any condensation at all, shame my bottle ran out  s:( :( s:(  

i'm in if the price is good  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Quote from: "davidhowson"Tem, I'll drop you a pm on the heater pads on their own in the morning, as there are various sizes.

David, could you for me as well please. I don't really need it on the 2 (garaged and all that, but if its cheap enough might do it anyway), but I leave the Mondeo out all the time and it would be great for that.

Thanks
Roger

I have used the heated mirror installation over the past three mornings, and have to say I am very happy with the results. No frost but a considerable amount of dew which starts to clear after 30 seconds, but it takes about 2 minutes for the glass to become fully clear.
I have used a smaller heating pad on this first trial which clears about 2/3rds of the mirror surface within the 2 minutes mentioned above; I have ordered the next size up heating pad to trail that this weekend, as I think the bigger size will fit and produce an even better result. The other issue I have had with the smaller pad is that the electrical connectors are a bit of a tight fit next to the adjusting mechanism and I am hopeful the larger pad will also over come this.
Will update at the weekend and I'll try to get some pictures on here as well.
Cheers - David.

I have added a Group Buy to cover the parts required for this conversion. So if you are still interested, please switch over to my new thread and let me know.
Regards
David
