   Hi,
   
   Just need a bit of advice about my rear heated window.
   
   on the bottem half of the window exept the 2 last lines the heated windows part doesnt work. i assume seens the top and last 2 lines work it is not the fuse. could it have just burnt out and i would need a new rear window if i wanted it fixed? Will it affect my MOT because it is next month?
   
   Thanks
   
   Alex

   How old is the car? im guessing ten years or more? Its probably just had it, i wouldn't be to bothered fixing it as it would mean another back window. It wont affect the MOT either. :-)

   there will be splits in the tracks
   
   its heated via an electrical current passing through it, any splits stop this and stop it working.
   
   if you look very closely at it you should be able to see where it has split / being damaged, you can get a liquid metal paint from halfords that uoi paint over the damaged part and it repairs it.
   
   does the job well,but buy a very fine brush from an art shop to aplly it with
