heated rear windscreen - joe
while cleaning the inside of my rear windscreen, I accidentally knocked off one of the electrical connections to the element. I had thought that I could solder this back on, but on closer examination the connector appears to have been glued on. The "glue" is white in appearance. Never seen anything like this before. I would like to fix this myself if I can, can anyone suggest what has been used to "glue" the connector to the element and what I should do to fix it?

heated rear windscreen - eric's son
About a year ago I saw a product in Halfords called "metal glue", "plastic solder" or something similar, in a toothpaste-sized tube, that claimed that it would repair exactly the connection that you describe. I only noticed it because the car that I had just sold had had a broken element connection - I haven't tried the product myself.
Hope that helps
