My windshield had been replaced before I got, and luckily they installed the heated windshield. To see if it is heated, take a flashlight and shine it along the bottom edge of the windshield around the windshield wiper in the dark area. If heated, you will be able to see the heater grids. I'm pretty sure those tabs are supposed to be soldered to the windshield, so may not be a do-it-yourself job.
