repairing the rear window heater of a Ford Cortina
I remember years ago repairing the rear window heater of a Ford Cortina with stuff from a "nail-varnish" type bottle. I'm uncertain at this remove if I was sticking the "tracks" to the glass or repairing breaks in said track. Try motor factors but I doubt you can get the stuff any more.
Unfortunately Leo's stuff is not much use to you @mathepac as it's water soluble.
My 142 Dacia Sandero rear window demister is not demisting even though (a) all fuses are fine (b) power (14-15V) is getting to the demister "tracks" and (c) there is no break in continuity in the "tracks". So everything looks fine but it simply doesn't demist the window (or very barely does - maybe a couple of mm either side of the window "tracks"). Any ideas?
Might be a fuse?
Thanks @DirectDevil.The voltage might be getting through to the tracks but the required level of current might not.
In that case there is not enough power driving through the elements.
Elements might be wearing out ?
Might be easier in the end to get a new demister.
This is a lousy time of year to be without an effective demister.
Yes - I did and it is.He checked that - seems to be working.
Thanks @DirectDevil.
Haven't got around to checking this again but I think that I need to check the grounding and the current alright.
It does eventually demist but it's very very slow and used to work a lot quicker.
I doubt that it's wearing out - it's only a 142 with very few km on the clock so hardly used.
If it did need a new demister then I thought that that meant getting a whole new rear window?
You're just getting older and sweating a bit more ....It does eventually demist but it's very very slow and used to work a lot quicker.
