If you can find the break in the element, and it’s a small one, you may be able to repair it with conductive paint. If you look on eBay for “conductive paint” there are literally 100s of suppliers with prices starting at just a couple of pounds.

HTH


Might have to do that, any ...

Re: Rear Windscreen Defrosts/Defogs Partially


you can see from outside the discoloration of the line that is broken. I think some of the vertical line is broken.

You could try to use a graphite pencil to fill the broken line. But if you wipe the window it will wipe off.

Be careful when you wipe the window. My tab ( the actual) wire ( flat ...

i managed 350 miles in my 350bhp gti so 400 should be fairly easy to attain


Thanks ...
