Hey all got a little problem with my rear demister on my EF, basically pic will tell you,

would simply resoldering it back on be ok or would it be dangerous of some sort.

Thanks

I believe there is something you can buy that sticks it back on....

I did the same thing to my BA and then some kind person broke my back window...
Not a recomended fix... (geez its a bit breezy in here... OH F....)

So thanks to the kind person it was fixed....

Free screen replacement FTW :D

Grab a replacement from another screen - maybe wreckers, use a small chisel or whatever.
Reflow the solder on it, fit the connector.

Desolder the broken one - hold the new one by the connector, solder it on.
Few tips:
-Maybe use some flux to help flow and heat transfer quicker
-Use a low power iron, maybe 40/50W

The soldered area is like a circuit track on a cct board - don't spend too long with heat, overheating and too long with an iron will make it not tin.

If that does happen, you'll need some conductive epoxy, or maybe use a demister repair kit.
