575 Rear Windscreen replacement

Hi all

Firstly, thank you for being a wealth of knowledge. Learning and lurking as I get ever closer to my first Ferrari.

The 575m I’m close to getting has an issue where the rear screen doesn’t heat. Fault finding has confirmed it’s the screen and the left side of the screen shows small white dots in line with the filament lines.

Are these screens easy to replace? They’re hard to find/source in UK currently and second hand ones and conditions vary from the two I can see. Any suggestions on possible repair of screen also welcomed.

The car itself is otherwise in great condition and one of the last that came to UK market before Superamericas or ones with HGTC pacakges.

thanks in advance!

Try Eurospares in the UK.

Awhile back I ordered front windscreen and frame, etc, delivered to US without issues.

 

Thank you. I've looked on there as it's rear screen They have a second hand one which is one of the two I'm referencing. In the UK, Eurospares is a common "go-to" in order to find what's needed. Saved many a person over the years!

 

Depending on why the "lines" do not heat up anymore they may be repaired. At least I saw a video of them being fixed on another car as I had no idea it was possible. I would always prefer to keep original glasses featuring the last digits of the chassis number.

 

With those “white dots” mentioned above. All thoughts welcomed!

I’m getting to that realisation… slowly
