On close inspection it looks like someone is or was fitting a rear screen

This is the second winter without it and its really annoyingPondrew said:That's quite extreme to get a heated rear window to work IMO!AnubisZed said:
it's either fogged up or frozen. And like I say a really good price, might even make my money back if I can sell the other parts I don't need 
Not sure how common, but this replacement has been repaired at some point (I've checked it for resistance and its fine).flybobbie said:
When I removed the original shell for the loom replacement I forgot to disconnect the connector and pulled it clean off the glass. I've tried soldering it and that didn't work, I've also tried two other products that are supposed to work and they were useless and didn't work either. Oh and defo got 12v across the plugs, so no blown fuse. So I've just lived with it, until now.
A job for the weekend by the looks of it, just got to unlock it first though.

Oooo interesting, I like that, except my connection tab has broken off the piece that broke offRobbiZ4 said:
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.
Alas, no I don't, but I've just doctored your photo to show it. It's broken along where the blue line is. The broken part is still in the plug end.RobbiZ4 said:Do you have a picture of it?AnubisZed said:...except my connection tab has broken off the piece that broke off

S.hit.
That was broken, when you tried to remove the shell with the connected wire. Well, I know this pitfall.
But you could take a standard connector (in German we say "Steckerzunge" or "Flachzunge", connector tongue or flat tongue) to solder onto the glass. Might be less work than pimping and replacing the complete shell.
