Rear demister repair

As above, mine has had something scrape a small gap in a couple of the lines thus it doesn’t quite clear the whole screen.
Anyone had any luck with those kits or is it new screen time?
thanks.

If you can cleanly rebuild the connection, the kits will work. They are bit of a bodge though and hark back to the times when aftermarket heaters (think thick silver lines) were stuck on Minis and Morris Minors!

Dad was telling me to solder it but I’m sure he’ll not have done one since the 70s.

That’s the one!! Same theory!

Finally got round to trying a kit out yesterday. Pleased to report that I got all three broken elements back up and running.
Very easy to use and the amount of paste provided goes a long way.
