Right, so before I took things apart I gave the interior of the screen a good clean and then got some freshly boiled water in a container and moved it about on the dash (slowly!) until it was all steamed up, started the engine, fans off, just the screen heater on.

Or rub a potato (cut surface) on your windscreen in the evening, the outside that is. The sugars of the potato are supposed to stop the screen from freezing over |

I actually used the "bubble-wrap reflective" sunscreens (I had one that had "wings" that went in through the door) on the windscreen. That kept is pretty clean every night. Just the hassle of putting it on and into the car (wet) was a bit annoying but still, kept the screen clear on frosty nights |

Glad I don't live in London or park on the street and of course glad to be retired.

When I switched on the screen heating (not often needed) I noticed a slight trembling (as one would see above hot tarmac in the distance) that would disappear immediately when switched off . Anyone noticed that? Is that normal? I find that irritating.
