Default Fitting a heated windscreen, HELP :)

hi there, ive just finished converting my sierra from boring old 1.8td power to 2.5 bmw power, but ive had to remove the heater matrix to make room for the extra 2 cylinders, ive found heated windscreens online for these but im not sure how you go about wiring them in, also can you change the windscreens in these on your own or do you need a glass specialist?

cheers
Jamie

to wire in you will need the relay and the switch on the dash. as for fitting, unless you get all the correct primers and glue get a glass fitter to do it. by the time you buy the stuff you might aswell pay someone to do it anyway.

use same sort of setup for rear screen.

if you are unsure about fitting then get someone else to fit it because if it goes wrong it will cost you more in the long run.
