Is someone manufacturing rear hatch glass with heating elements for the S30 range?

I know a company that does make them for MZR but that design is exclusive to them for obvious reasons. I've requested a couple of quotes for a toughened glass version with visible elements (When the quote arrives, I will run a poll to see how many other members are interested to get a batch job).

However in the meanwhile, I thought to ask here in case there is common knowledge that I'm unaware of.

I need to replace all screen rubbers in mine as they are leaking and figured I should do the job once!
 
I would have though the design for s30 rear glass with heating elements is owned by Nissan. Not sure what IP MZR could own in such a thing.
But anyway, I've never noticed a supplier of new glass.

From what I understand they go for a laminated (as opposed to toughened) glass with fine wire rather than the lines we know and love. Personally, I prefer the lines as it's more in keeping with the period look, but each to their own.

That's interesting, when I looked on Pilkington's it wasn't listed - do you have to call them to place the order?
 
I know Pilkington used to do these but they've changed owners over the last few years, so would be worth phoning them on 01527 505 827
