i used to work in a car yard and the only way i know of replacing those demisters is by buying a whole new window. ive tried heaps of places witth no luck!

thanx 4wdnuts.just found a website going on about using steel wool to buff up the wire.then using copper paint to complete the circut again.may give this a go.

could be worth a shot. i know that those metal strips come off easily with a scraper. maybe try that then just paint over the lines that are left.

The copper paint does work sometimes

But it looks like sh#t, a replacement window is your best option.
