HEATED REAR WINDOW ELEMENT?

[CHRIS_MC]

Is anyone else's absoloutely cack.........? short of stopping in the middle of the road (or ideally before i set about my journery) to pop the boot, get out and wipe it with my arm, rather than wait for it to work.......

anyone?

just wondered, if perhaps some of the element has burnt out? and it now only half works.......bah humbug

only one line of mine works

[CHRIS_MC]

superb, superb in that im not the only one, but i do feel your pain!

Nope, mine works fine. Turn it on when I get in and by the time i'm out my works car park my back window is  pretty much clear. The rest of my heating works great too and really quick

Next time it's all cold and miserable out, test it too see if it works and how fast and you can check how many elements work.

mine works after about 25minutes.............it takes me 20 minutes to get to/from work

mate i live in Edinburgh, technically that is every day, but yeah......should do really,

also my heating has some sort of flute playing gremlin in it, why do i have a 19 year old car again?

(lol @ jammac..... i know exactly what u mean)

[Jay]

19 year olds are the best  Mind you the older the better

This is on my job list too.  If you've got some lines working but not others (as with mine) its prob splits in the element. Apparently you can fix this by painting it with silver circuit paint to "rejoin" the broken bits on the element:
