1999 Focus Estate Heated Rear Window Only Half Working

[rich_21]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone on here has had the same problem.

I have a 1999 focus estate, only problem being is the heated rear window is only half working/clearing.

Now I only use the car really for fishing and taking the dog out, but as you can imagine, only being able to see half out the rear window can be a bit of a pain.

Has anyone had the same problem?....and if so, how did you fix it?

Many thanks.

Probably a damaged track.

You can get repair kits from Halfords but they can be a fiddly job.

I have just repaired the heated front windscreen it could be the same. There is a copper ribbon cable that tore off. I soldered a cable straight onto the windscreen then onto the copper ribbon.
