as far as i know, no golfs came with a heated windscreen (front)

the V5 and V6 had raintronic (rain sensor) as standard

sadly it wasn't an option for the MKIV  :sad:

i've seen a group buy for heated windscreens being run over on Club GTI but for some reason they weren't doing MKIV's  :undecided: it was done for MK1 - MK3 and Corrado's etc

I thought heated screens (as standard fit) were only done by Ford (and associated companies).....I had it on my olf F reg Escort RST!

Awesome idea! It take ages for my screen to de-mist!!
