You can get a whole rear (/front) window demister kit from Little Reds in Christchurch for $43.46 +

I don't know how good they are. I was just looking around at options to fix the one in my Terrano last night. Might try some of that varnish first.

Give both surfaces a rub with some scotchbrite. Super glue the terminal back on. then paint it with some of the window repair stuff to complete the circuit. You could probably mix up some fine iron filings into some araldite if you wanted to. Might sound abit rangi but as long as it conducts electricity it'll work.

so what happens when he repairs his demister strip (thinking more about the thin lines) with a thin layer of varnish which is much thinner than the surrounding track. I'm guessing it'll get much hotter much faster than the rest of the demister?

when you're repairing the thin lines you need to use the proper stuff.

One of the boys at work used the Jaycar kit to repair the rear demister on his 910 bluebird. Worked really well, went from only a couple of lines working to pretty much the whole rear screen demisting like new :lol: I was quite impressed. That was about a year ago an it still works well

yup the jay car stuff works the little paint on job for $17 shipped or there about, need to turn the vial upside down get all the silver stuff to sit in the cap and use that, otherwise its to thin and doesn't work.
