Does anyone know if these are still available?

Try UROGLAS

Thanks, I?ve mailed them

I have one of their rear screens in my +2. Be aware that the elements are more like those in Ford windscreens, embedded in the laminate, not surface mounted like the originals. Also, the current load is much higher than the original and will overload the original wiring. A relay mounted close to the screen, in the boot, to minimise the length of cable is required. Make sure you use at least 35amp cable to the connections. Fords have a timer so the unit is only in operation for a few minutes to prevent overloading the electrics.

The glass also has a black edge to it, like modern screens. After nearly 10 years, the screen is de-laminating slightly at one edge - i.e going slightly milky - see drivers side bottom corner in the attached pic..

Thanks Jeremy, good information

Also. how old is your car? I think the early +2s had vertical elements as I have a spare screen with that.
