Well, 2 are working the rest is not

I do have a repair kit (some kind of paint that conduct) but then I might
end up painting the 'whole' rear window.
The aftermarked kid you mentioned, is that the one which you stick onto the
window alowing you to see almost nothing through that window? (due to thick
lines)

Is the rear window of the "ultima edition" bigger than the ones from '73 and
up? I sure would like to see those (and other) new parts were built..

Cheers,
Roger

Ahh, my bad.

Just a hasty assumption after observing the remaining lines die
relatively soon after the first ones go. Guess it was time that got them.

I have one about four years old, it was about £100 over here. Cant remember
where from though...sorry.

My back window grids were bad too, looked at them with a good magnifying
glass and they appeared all corroded or vaporized. Could not get any to
conduct with my megohmmeter. I was able to buy a brand new one , think it
was about 300 bucks or so, but I was pleased that it was a perfect
replacement and its great having your defogalator working again. And during
that project I heard that window cleaner with ammonia will damage the grid
lines too. Did buy the paint kit, but it was a joke.
