The HRW on my Escort estate is missing the blade connector from the glass on the power-side. I can see where the two connections were glued (?) on but the actual connector was missing when I bought the car (not the sort of thing you would think to check) and the previous owner had even pulled the power lead down into the tailgate so it wasn't obviously dangling.

I can see that it's possible to buy conductive glue so I guess I'm asking if anyone has any ideas or can supply the little connector bit.

Thanks for reading.

 

Can you solder a connector on or solder a bit of wire to the screen then crop a connector on.

 

You *can* solder to the conductive paint on glass, but you have to be very careful, as it's very easy to blow it up. I don't think it'd be wise doing it to an old car if it's the original glass.

I have used conductive glue before, for exactly this problem (heater terminal on a Golf) but it's a bit hit and miss really.
