Rear heated screen 3 elements not working
« on: 13 December 2012, 16:47 »
As above guys I've lost 3 elements on my rear heated screen one at the top and 2 at the bottom can they be repaired I've seen some kind of conductive paint in the motor factors that you put on broken elements but I can't see any on my golf I've not removed the plastic yet to have a look at the edges of the window I wonder if its broken down there ?

Thanks for any help kev

I think they are sandwiched between the glass mate - use de icer or a scraper  :laugh:
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Years ago I repaired the elements in one of my cars with a kit that you painted on to bridge any gaps
