Rear window heater tab

[ChilliBob]

Hey everyone,

The tab which connects to the rear window has fallen off, hence no heat to defrost or demist ability.

I looked on YouTube and it seems you can buy some kit with conductive epoxy and Wipes.

Could I not use electrical contact spray on each surface and a small bit of duct tape to achieve the same thing?
Any tips appreciated cheers

Sorry to hear that...

True; Is it silver 'loaded' - Best; or copper 'loaded' resonable subsitute; If Aluminimum loaded don't bother.

No! Contact spray is a switch cleaner and will not necessarily be a conductore and certainly would not carry the heating element current. Duct tape would soffen with the heating effect of the current passing throuh the temporay repair connection.


A windscreen repair guy may be a better help.
