Wanted: Rear Screen For Zt Estate

[anthony27]

same problem on mine, been like that for a while. It sleeps indoors so never really missed it.

I mentioned the touch-up paint trick to my dealer, he said it was not likely to last.

I wonder if Rimmer Bros have the part in stock?

We get loads of these on Rover 75 and ZT-T's. Used ones are expensive because most of the breakers know how extortionate new ones are! Any one know why they cost £600 or more?

Is it not covered on Insurance??

My rear screen only had a couple of elements working when I bought it. A magnifying glass showed up very fine cracks in the other elements. I used some of the repair paint from Halfords to good effect and got them all working.

Unfortunately two years on none of the elements work at all. There is power to the screen and I cannot see any cracks. New screens are about £600 and second hand ones are about £200, but can you be sure that a second hand one will work after a complicated and not cheap fitting by a third party with no comeback.

I feel that I have power connection problem somewhere at the first source to the screen. I have had two different electricians look at it and both have shrugged their shoulders. I think it has to be a new screen but am baulking at the price. Are there enough ZT-T owners needy enough to see if a bulk purchase can get us a sensible price?

If all the MG forums got together possibly, I would have 1.

What price is reasonable?

As MG Z sites go, I do not frequent the others, so can't help there.
I can talk to my friend who runs a Windscreen fitting Co. to see if he knows the Manufacturers.

Seems to be quite a common problem. I have never had a screen element burn out before.On other vehicles odd non working elements have obvious damage and I have repaired them with the conductive paint quite succesfully.On the ZTT all the elements have burnt on the offside of the screen where they go under the trim.I feel that replacing the screen is rather futile as this looks like an electrical problem within the car.Any of you electrical experts got any ideas ?

If anyone wants a replacement screen I've got one in the shed that came off my 190 ZTT.

It needs to be split from the frame and re bonded as it was leaking like a sieve.

From memory, all bar one element was working, possibly 2

I am interested in it as a spare, if no one else needs it.
