As title says really my mini should have a heated rear window but one of the wires thats connected to the window has come off, just wondering if there's any way of fixing it (either by soldering it back onto the window or another way)

I'm guessing i'll need a new rear window and to rear wire it again just gets a bit annoying not being able to see out my back window, but as my dad says you don't need to know whats going to hit you

The whole plate thats supposed to be attached to the windows come off if thats any help

try glueing the plate to the window and connect it bak to the printed circuit on the window with the repair paint

I'm glad to see that "Frost Fighter" stuff. I have successfully soldered these back on, but it's a PITA.
