Rear screen

[NIX]

Hi guys,

In need of a new rear screen/window due to the heating connectors being broken.

Any idea of how much this costs and who would be the best people to contact? I'm based in North London.

Cheers!!

Rear 'screens are not the sort of thing that gets damaged or broken so should be readily available s/h.

Try a 'wanted' add in the correct section.

Thanks, but going to need someone to fit it too...

That should not be a problem for most of the zone's 'frequent fraggers' or 'approved traders'!

May be a little more difficult if you cannot travel far from North London,though!

I've got an untinted one with working heating element and the connection tabs intact- you can have it for £10 but you'd need to collect it from me ( 20 miles north of Birmingham )

how do you check if it demists when removed from the car ?

i have a charged 12v battery and a multi meter

It worked last time I used it

mines a spare that i forgot to check before i fragged an old turd and if it works i'm using it.

the rear demist has never worked on my car since i've owned it but that could be a fault somewhere else in the car maybe ??

Thanks guys but not really looking to trek that far. Don't mind a bit of a drive if it includes fitting but not as far as the midlands.

Thanks anyway!

Does windscreen insurance cover the rear screen ?

Do you still have the tags in your possession? I successfully attached tags from one (unfitted) screen onto the one that was fitted to my car. Or someone may have a broken rear screen that they can prise the tags off for you . . . . . . I'll find a link to the stuff I used to do this.

Hi beemerbird, that MIGHT work...Basically the connectors that attach onto the rear screen look as thought they've been snapped off - maybe the rear screen was replaced in the past and these bits not fixed back properly, not sure.

Perhaps I'll try to take a pic at some point to show what I mean.

That's exactly what had been done to mine, hence my use of the glue. I bought a second hand screen for a tenner, heated the intact tags with a soldering iron until they floated off. Then fitted the tags to my installed screen. Far less hassle IMHO.

Will take a closer look and see what I can do.
