Hey lads! Has anyone done a heated windscreen retrofit? Does anything like that exist for the mk3 Leons? I was told that there was a chance but I cant seem to find a part number or how to to the retrofit. TIA

Mk3 never had a heated windscreen, so no part number.
There may be a very small chance that a glass manufacturer, such as Glavista, might have once offered a heated one.
But a quick glance at their website didn't produce any result of that sort.
Maybe you can try to look further, as you're told that there was a chance, though I'm not sure what was meant by that.

Even if you manage to find a heated windscreen that fits, you'll need wiring diagrams from a similar model which is/was offered with a heated windscreen, like Ateca. And then even if you got it wired properly, you'll have to hope that the firmwares & datasets of related control units in your car would support it.
 
The only problem is finding the right heated windscreen. Everything else is secondary.

I have too many open projects, Area View for example, which will finally be finished in 2026. Lots of small projects, so a heated windshield just isn't feasible.
 
Happy to be wrong but I don't think the MK3 Leon came with heated front screen, it uses the Heater to demist from memory.

Seat are now offering it but I don't think it across the range.
ye but one of the retrofiters told me he can do it but the screen was like 800 quid or something like that. So I thought to ask peope here and see if anyone has heard anything like that. Ty for the reply!
