Morty Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hello. Can anyone advise me re this issue please. The connector has come away from the glass on one side.. it’s still connected on the other. Is it a simple fix please … is anything ever simple ? 😊😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinney Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 And here is the product he mentions, from a U.K. source https://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/36629632/permatex-electrically-conductive-rear-window?gps=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm9yJBhDTARIsABKIcGZRRP3oMMVe9PzVOTho52Co1v5LaUaeaQMHvYA364iu2MpPalB6wMAaApZCEALw_wcB Worth a try at that price.

EuropaSman Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 If the above doesn't work then the connector can be soldered back on but it necessitates removal of the tailgate. The first attempt to reattach one of the connectors on the rear window of my Evora using electrically conductive glue failed, so I had PJS Lotus take the tailgate off and resolder the connector back on, which has done the trick. It was about 2 hours labour from memory. The alternative would have been either leave it & do without rear window heating or replace the window glass, which would have been very expensive .
