Hi all,
I'm trying to find out how best to re-attach the metal plate connecting up my rear demister element. One of Tom's ramblings refers to loaded paint that can be used for fixing breaks in the element itself, but would this work for re-sticking the plate? A French online supplier sells Loctite electrical conducting glue, but at 36 euros a tube, is there any cheaper solution?
Thanks a lot!

rear window demister
Mine came loose and I had it re-fixed by a Citroen specialist in Gloucester for £18. He used solder. He said it was difficult because you're working against gravity. It would be a lot easier with the hatch off. Anyway, it works now.

Surely apart from the risk of the glass shattering, solder is only going to attach the bracket to the surface tracks which can then be easily torn off again. If you use the conductive epoxy this can also give some mechanical adhesion to the glass resulting in a less risky & long-life repair.
