I read Greeners did it with a large soldering iron - I can't find the thread again now but that's what he said. A large hot soldering iron touching glass scares the pants off me - I'll try gluing it. Thanks all.

Just going through the options.

Here's another repair paint - Amazon. The seller says it needs to be used with this adhesive to repair HRW tabs. I'm a tad dubious that it'll work. This one might though - a silver epoxy adhesive with "high electrical conductivity" (see datasheet pdf) - RS Stock No 186-3616. Shame about the price! Quote:

LH side (nearside) has 4 connections to the glass. Top two are the plug to aerial amp XUC100741. Bottom two go to the earth point bolt just below the amp. NB. Top of glass on the right in this pic (obviously ). RH side (offside) has 2 connections to the glass. Top one goes to the LH end connector on the filter amp XUE100001. Bottom one goes to middle connector on XUE100001. RH end connector on XUE100001 goes to the loom. NB. Top of glass on the left in this pic (). NB. The connections might be different if the car uses other amplifiers. Last edited by Blink; 13th April 2020 at 12:55.. |

I had one off on my previous car. I cleaned up the connections, held the end of a piece of fluxed electrical solder between the solder on the screen and the spade connector with a small screwdriver, then applied my ready heated electric (small) soldering iron to the spade until I saw the solder run. Pulled iron off immediately, then allowed to cool. Screen was fine, with no crackking etc. (At your own risk of course)

The Amazon one sounds OK. With just a touch of instant glue to hold it in place.

I had the same situation, tried different items from amazon and ebay, but ended up getting a new rear screen. The last glue stuck it fine, but still had dead lines, so gave up.
