806 heated rear screen
Hi guys, following the replacement of my tailgate last weekend I have founf that the heated rear window element wires are just floating above the glass (not making any contact). One side is ok but I can't work out if this contact needs to be glued or soldered to make the circuit. Any ideas please????

Re: 806 heated rear screen
When I had this problem on my BX, I was advised to glue the connector into place using a glue designed for glass (to have the same thermal expansion properties as the glass) so I used an epoxy resin for glass (leaving an area on the connector and on the element clear). I then waited 24 hours for it to cure, and then painted on some silver conductive paint over the contact and the element and waited another 24 hours. After that, the HRW worked properly.
Do make sure to use a glass friendly glue, otherwise it is possible the glass could break. The following thread covers the issue you have;
