I need to replace my rear screen for the ZT-T although its a MK2 I think earlier models also fit. It's a standard screen not privacy tinted. Reason to replace- failed heating elements. Can anyone help? BF

If the filiment of the heated screen is damaged you can get a special paint that conducts electricity which will connect up the break. With care you can also re-solder the connections.
Oops! Should always read the small print.........

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions but no luck so far with sourcing a cheaper replacement (Roverbreakers want £225 which is where I went last time). I did consider the electrical contact paint route but to be honest I cannot see where the break(s) are and curiously the centre three rows are thankfully still working. This is the second time its happened workiing one moment and then nothing (well a few rows only). At a quoted cost of over £600 for a replacement I think I'll have a chat with my insurance company to see if I am covered.
Kindest regards, BF
Hi Frank, the same thing has happend to my tourer rear screen,all the elements have burned out all on the offside ,you can see a kind of burn mark. Anyone know why this should happen ? I am reluctant to replace it incase it is something to do with the car and not the screen.
sounds like to much current going through the elements, i guess they use a lot to heat the elements, although not sure how much. worth finding out, at least that way it could be reduced
