Oooo interesting, I like that, except my connection tab has broken off the piece that broke offRobbiZ4 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:00 pmSince this happens regularly, I have developed a solution to resolder it with a heat gun. After several tests on "offline" windows it's now possible to resolder these connectors with about 480-500°C using a 5 mm nozzle on a temperature controlled(!) heat gun.
The only prerequisite is, that the rear shell is dismantled and lying reverse on a table.

Anyway, moving on, on further inspection yesterday I noticed that the 'new' shell has not only some scratches (extra to when I first saw it) but also a small dent, so the whole panel will now have to be prep'd and resprayed. Going to see the bodyshop today and see whether it'll be more viable to have that done, along with spraying my replacement bumper, or try to get a window company (someone like Autoglass, not SafeStyle ) to swap the glass sections over. The new bumper will still be going to the shop anyway but no point in creating more work than is needed.
