rear heated screen

Hi I'm guessing this applies universally to all cars, on the heated rear screens how does the connector bond to the screen? Mine has been caught getting stuff in and out the boot and is no longer attached, with winter drawing in I want to re attach it.
If it makes an difference its on a pug 306 TD 1995
Thanks

The metal is bonded into the glass at point of manufacture. I'm not to sure how you can re-attach it. But be carefull as this happedned on my xsara. Any how next day after messing with it it shattered. Not pretty. Ask the Citroen guys this question as they'll have some product you can use.

I have repaired one successfully using conductive paint and araldite, first I painted the connector tag with the paint and taped it to the glass, then I araldited it into position, a bit tricky though

OK thanks, I doubt the screen will shatter as its been this way for a while and has been bashed a bit. (regularly carry a dirt bike in the back of car)

Similar to oilyspanner- I have used the two-pack reactive superglue from wickes (I can't remember what its called-you spray an activator onto one surface, put the glue on the other surface) to reattach one- I then painted it with a track of conductive silver paint sold for the purpose of repairing rear screen demisters- I think its by Comma and about a fiver for a tiny bottle!!
