on my quest to find the source of the water in the boot took out the tailgate plastic trim;
SURPRISE!!! this is why the rear demister isn't working.

on the outlined area with the glass up

at least this repair will be easy.

sure thing, but I live on the 5th floor and only have a 10m extension cord, don't want to ask the ground floor neighbour for power socket, he is a "grumpy old fart" so it will have to wait till I drop a visit to the parents

Gas soldering iron?

Gas soldering iron?

thought about it but not worth going to bye one for one time job,
the heater hasn't worked for 6 years so it can wait for a couple of month more
