I hope so mate..... Mine is back at the dealers right now having this very thing fixed. As well as juddering while pulling away and the warped front screen heater fitting popping up.
Maplin the electronics store used to sell conductive silver paint for repairing window elements. The trick was to locate the break, clean with alchohol ,put a line of tape each side, then paint over the gap in the element. Worked quite well.
Where do you get it now?

YAH that's it- order code N36BA - electrically conductive silver paint. Use a toothpick as a paintbrush. Do a layer, let it dry. Needs about two or three thin layers.

I brought my car at the end of last winter so i have only just used the heated rear window to find 4 bars are broken :bang: The conductive paint is a great idea except i had the windows tinted in the summer so i would have to have the rear one removed and done all over again Not a happy bunny i can tell you.
once you have applied a few thin coats apply a thin coat of matt black heat resisting paint over it otherwise you will see it sparkle in your rear view every time a car comes towards you at night....

Scratch doing it myself. After discussion with the dealer, who has been great (woodleigh chesterfield), we are going to replace the screen under 3rd year of the warranty. Just need to complete the transfer form.
same paint but it comes as a little kit with stencils and other bits to apply it with, i may need alot of it as ive spotted a few breaks/scraches from when i cleaned the back glass with a blade, before tinting.
