Title: Rear screen demister thingy
Post by: iaint on January 12, 2004, 11:16:59 AM
Hi,

Only half of of the demister on the rear screen is working.  Are these things that are easy to replace?  What kid of price am I looking at?

It\'s not a major problem but is a bit annoying occasionally.

Sorry, but its built into the rear screen, you willhave to replace rear screen, I would have thought.

I have repaired demisters before. In South Africa, I could buy a demister kit. Ive never seen one here, though.

Its basically just a circuit. However, you obviously cannot solder it!

On some of the older cars the heater pad was stuck to the screen and was approx 4mm thick, you could buy a silver paint for the job and worked, but I think on the RX its newer and much smaller, and not exposed like the thick silver bands on the older heaters.
