- Get a bottle of "Rear Window Defroster Repair Paint," available at
- most better auto parts stores but sometimes hard to find at the
- discount barns. Prepare yourself psychologically to spend seven or
- eight bucks for a bottle so teeny you'll want to save the cardboard
- display packaging just so you don't lose the durn thing. Follow the
- instructions religiously.
-
- It's a conductive paint in some kind of glue matrix that will stick
- to glass and withstand temperature change. It works reasonably well,
- though it won't look exactly like the factory wires.

- Good luck,
