Not that it does get a lot of use, BUT! it did work. Now three of the lines work. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

You can get a demister repair kit if you can see where the lines are broken. Just hope you don't have tint.

I have used the LOCTITE liquid on other vehicles - it worked successfully[emoji1417]

As always YouTube can help. Except I have many breaks and the repair looks ugly.

You can replace the whole thing too with kits like this Clear View Aftermarket Defrosters and Defoggers (https://frostfighter.com/clear-view-defrosters-about.htm)

The clear view kit is only $100 less than a new window including postage. Then there is the skill of the operator to consider!

It was for example, there are similar kits cheaper if you search

Hi Julian
When thieves smashed my rear glass I obtained a working and tested replacement from a wrecker. It’s not that hard to fit the glass or get a windscreen place to fit it.
Cheers
