Heated windscreen retrofit
- Thread starter Hristiyan Dyankov

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.

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.
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!

Highly unlikely the glass exists. Electrically it’s easy to do
This company claims to make heated windscreens that fit Seat Leons
But never heard or seen anyone with one fitted.

The web page at the link you've posted states ‘pick up only, sending not possible’. Thinking about the practical considerations for UK owners, as this supplying company is based in the Netherlands it might not be a workable proposition for UK owners, especially if a fitted screen sustains damage that’s not repairable and it needs to be replaced at short notice for safety reasons and / or so the car won’t fail an MOT.
Insurance companies would also be unlikely to pay for one of these replacement heated screens if they’re only available from this Netherlands-based supplier on a ‘collection only’ basis. You’d probably just get a standard non-OEM screen from the insurer’s usual approved glass repairers / installers.
It looks like these people might be able to do it;

Also says Leon 05 - so would presume this is for the Second generation Leon (1P; 2005) Not the MK3.
Here's another place in the UK that makes them, mostly for rally.

They say they can make them for any type of car in the FAQ.
The golf 7 came with the option for a heated windscreen (called climate windscreen), so you could probably wire in your custom made screen, code it and have a clean retrofit. But nobodies done it before as far as I know

Wiring wise it’s easy
I can’t imagine a one off heated windscreen making financial sense but then again if there’s enough people interested it could
