ZeroDelta Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi, I am looking for some help with my rear window heater on my TD5 90. Basically it will defrost/demist the bottom half of my rear window, leaving the really important bit frosted up. Has anyone come across this probelem before and is there a quick fix before i go and get fleeced by my local LR Dealer? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yes, been documented several times. The electrical continuity of the elements on the glass has broken. You can get conductive paint to 'repair' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve King Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 ^^^ Wot he said, but if it is an obvious break, then the DIY alternative is copper filings mixed with Araldite! Make sure that you use masking take so that it only goes where you want it to or you could end up with a sticky mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I need to do mine and bought conductive paint for it so long ago that it's dried in the tube ... I thought a pcb pen might work, but they are quite dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 My Disco screen is similar, but I tend to forget about it until it is all damp and misted up. Then, when I think I should repair it the dampness puts me off, thinking I won't get a good contact with the silver paint stuff. Plus, of course, finding where the break is located isn't always easy. You can't use a continuity tester for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
