Heated rear window, refixing the terminal to the element.

Post by Gixxer »

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix the terminal back on to the heated rear window element (when I say terminal I'm referring to the bit the feed connets to).

I was thinking along the lines of a conductive adhesive, but I can't seem to find any.

Thanks, G

Thanks for the tips.

On the basis of cost and how often it's used, the paint option looks like the one to go. Although the reviews the product was given weren't very positive, I'm assuming there's a knack in using the stuff and a limit to it's use.

Thanks again, G

I've used similar paint and not had any real luck with it, I used it to repair a few lines on the heated back window on the 205 a few years ago. It did work in a fashion though to be fair but that section did not heat up, so I guess it was better than that line not working at all.

EDIT... That's not a bad price although you might find cheaper on Ebay, probably worth a look.

i dont think your meant to use it for longinsh section of missing tracks, also when repairing track you must not apply it to think as it can alter the resistance and shatter the screen,

it used to work a treat on the terminals though,
supper glue the terminal to the glass then paint across the terminal and onto the surrounding track
