MKII were always with, MKI I have no idea, info is not clear about that.

Make it yourself but remember there will always be traces visable of where the heating wires were.

If you look at the window know with some brands of sunglasses you can always see it where the wires are.

Maybe if you polisch it with special glass polish but no garantee.

There is a thread on here about someone with a Mk2 Scirocco who polished the heater elements off the glass.

Actually über rare though

speak to pilkington classic glass. they will probably have them, if not they will probably still have the moulds so can make one to order, if not, they can make one using your existing screen as a template. nowhere near as expensive as it sounds either
