I have a book that lists the power disipated in these windows as 60- 70 watts. If I assume a system voltage of 14.2 V then that would require a resistance of no more than 3.36 Ohms. In my experience, you would be VERY lucky to come across one that measures as low as 10 Ohms. If you can find one under 8-10 Ohms, buy it. > There is a company in the UK that sells heated front windshields for Typ 1 > Beetles and Ghias.

Stock windshields are that much here. How is the heating done? Do they add stripes like the rear windows have? Could they repair the stripes on a bad rear window?
