The consumer cost effects resulting from the implementations of FMVSS 103 and 104 were determined by a process of tear down analysis of representative vehicle components. These standards cover FMVSS 103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems and FMVSS 104 Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems. A group of comparable makes and models was selected which was representative of vehicle systems prior to and after the effective date of the standards. Components removed from the selected vehicles were used to establish the changes in the comparable systems. Automotive industry type manufacturing cost estimating techniques were utilized to develop the costs attributable to the implementation of the standards.
