Mine's never worked in the 5 years I've had the car. Got power to screen when ye work the switch , screen jus dusnae graft.

Original dealer sticker in rear window is what always stops me from changing the screen to fix the fault.

Am I right in thinking that cabby's have rear screen blower de-misters though?? Can these be retro fitted to coupe's I wonder?

Usually easy enough to repair a few tracks, if most are working. There's a recent thread on the subject.

Works perfectly and permanently, IF you clean everything properly AND use the epoxy stuff.

I've had three tourings in a row, all rear demisters fine.

All strips work on mine.

My touring one works sweet as a nut

[mattycoops43]

I had none working, changed the screen to find I have about half working, and unfortunately it's a clear screen so looks wrong cos the car has a green tint on all glass.

Don't think the repair will work as I have massive gaps in my original screens tracks, not just cracks.

Does anybody do a proper professional repair?

or have a green tint window with guaranteed working tracks?

Mine works perfectly and clears the screen pretty quick

dont let that stop you, i can make you a new one if you want

[grantfk10]

Mine work

Mine does too

[Tom_Maverick]

mine doesnt, it's the ends of all tracks, they've just gone all fadey and pants.. if you stick a meter across the last inch or so on the passenger side you get +12v so that's where its knacked.. I did give that conductive paint a spin but it failed miserably..

I deal with electronics all day so TBH I cant usually be arsed to fiddle with it on the weekends.. I might just get a new rear screen in there..

[bhups]

Only 2 lines work on mine.

[m_jermyn]

Strange that others have some lines working and I got zero....

You shouldn't need it in your climate.

[JamOnIt]

Only two lines work on my touring, I'll have a go at fixing it one day.

[djsimmy]

[Duke137]

You can solve the problem easily with a brick

[e30-EVN]

Mine works but can be a little slower than I'd sometimes like. Other than that she clears the whole window fine

[oomz1975]

No issues here...

[asmith88]

That will be happening with 2 windows at least.

[BEERBOY123]
