– Why can’t front windshields have the same defrosting method as rear windshields?

Question

The rear windshield defrosters seem so much more effective. Is it just the lines across the drivers field of view that makes it decidedly unsafe?

Answer 1

I have seen two kinds of windscreen defrosters. One is already mentioned metal wiring inside the windscreen which works the same as rear defroster. I suspect the other one is quite more expensive since i have only seen it in higher end models. It is basically a conductive see through layer inside the windshield and there is no visible wires at all.
