## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 2019 - CREW REPORTED THAT THE FIRST OFFICER'S WINDSHIELD HEATER WAS SPARKING IN FLIGHT.  THE WINDSHIELD HEAT WAS DEACTIVATED UNDER MEL 30-42-02 AND THE AIRCRAFT RELEASED TO SERVICE.  AFTER FLIGHT 2842 ON 11/25/2003, MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD, OPERATIONALLY CHECKED THE WINDSHIELD HEATING SYSTEM AND REMOVED THE WINDSHIELD HEATING SYSTEM FROM MEL.
