Did it work?

Scuffed the rear window of The Mighty Vectra whilst taking the bike out and I’ve damaged about half a dozen of the heating element strips.

Meh.

Back in the good old days, you used to be able to buy a repair kit from Halfords.

It was a bit like a metallic Tipex

However, over the last 5 years, every time I’ve been to Halfords for something car related, some spotty YTS drongo kid has taken great pleasure in informing me in grunts and groans that “that particular part is no longer stocked”

Good luck!

I’ve used the Tipex type one that John just described and it worked well. Applying it is a sod and if you want to acheive a neat job get a cut down artist brush otherwise you just end up with ugly blobs of the stuff instead on neat thin lines.

Gold or silver leaf and clear varnish over the top acheive the same result

print and show he spotty plebe this (stock checker shows as available in all 3 stores closest to me)

heated windows eh?

OH HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVE!

Yep, have some in the shed which gets dug out about once a year when the feeble Mazdas ones start flaking off.
Clean with IPA or Meths first and it lasts / works well.

neat thin lines

Use masking tape or Sellotape if you want these. IME it lasts until you next give the screen a good clean, then you’ll need to apply it again.
