Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, I cannot find any info on the site regarding this issue so posting to hopefully get some assistance from the community. My rear demister/defogger on my Targa (2002) is not working. The contact terminal has de-bonded from the rear wind screen and it is now not making contact with the wind screen at the terminal. The fuse etc are all checked and fine. Is there any solutions out there to fix this? Apart from purchasing a new rear windscreen which is mega £££. Many thanks in advance Andrew

Hi Andrew There are various conductive glues for this issue and videos on you tube. It's not an uncommon problem something like the following is what you need. PERMATEX electrically conductive Tab Adhesive. Good luck Andy
