Rear defeater connection came loose during repaint. What is best way to reattach? Was going to solder but friend recommended conductive glue.

Anyone tried this?

Mix up a batch of epoxy with metal filings in it. Copper works well, so does brass. Steel/iron will work but not as well.

You can also use one of the thicker "Super Glue" types mixed with filings.

Quick and easy. Works like a charm.

I've fixed several over the years with this method.

You can buy silver loaded epoxy. I think epoxy is need to get the strength required.

I've done this (not on a 928) and it worked. Heat from soldering might cause more problems.

Nice, I'm going to try this next time I remove the trim, one is broken on the Onion, glad I saved the tab

Thanks for posting!

Could this be used on the speedo film?

Wow, nice to see this subject ... I have an extra window and a couple of the tabs are missing off of it, anybody got any extras?

Which side of hatch is the wire with this tab? My defroster **** lights up correctly in both positions. It will not time out or defrost the window. I thought this tab could be my problem.
Thanks

Passenger side.

This reminds me - I need to check the connection on my '89 as only half the rear demister works. Must be a similar issue to the OP.

Hilton,

Could you let me me know which connections are power (+) and which are ground (-) on the rear hatch when you look? I forgot to mark those wires during disassembly

Cheers!
