Heated Rear Window
The heated rear window uses thin wires printed on the glass to clear mist and ice.
What is Heated Rear Window?
It often switches off automatically after some minutes. Some cars also heat the windscreen or mirrors. The radio antenna may be integrated. Conductive paint repair kits can bridge small breaks in the heating wires. The tabs where wires connect to the glass can come loose.
How it works
Current through the wires heats the glass.
Why it matters for your car
Scratches can break the wires; repair kits exist. Check the relay and fuse if it stops working.
