Default conductive adhesives

The wire has come off the rear heated screen so i've been looking for a conductive adhesive but not had much luck, tried a few different ones now and theyve either not stuck to the glass or melted off as soon as you turned the heat on.

Anyone got any recomendations for a good one to use?

Cheers

You can solder them back on if you are very carefull. I wouldnt recommend it but it can be done.

the problem is the joint is inside the bodywork, so access to its very limited so i wouldnt want to risk it.
