Re: Can I fix a heated rear window? there might be a break in the elements - you can buy conductive paint to fill in the gaps like this

Re: Can I fix a heated rear window? I've heard of them being soldered back together on some cars. Worth a try?

Re: Can I fix a heated rear window? You can buy conductive paint for this sotto of repair, some of the breaks are visible, others you can find with your multimeter.l tried to repair two sections of mine with home made paint, l mixed carbon powder with epoxy resin, my multimeter showed it was conductive, but once it had gone off it wasn't. lol
