Repair: Rear Window Defogging Strips

[coolchu001]

I've been looking for the conductive epoxy or paint for the strips for quite some time now and I've no lucky finding them. My top 7 lines are woking but the rest are no good , hate this in the wet weathers. Anyways does anyone know where I can get some of these strips, or a repair kit?

Goto a electronics supply store.

They have stuff that comes in a little bottle. Its conductive paint or something like that and is used to fix traces on pcbs.

The Toyota repair manual specify to use Dupont paste No. 4817
but only to repair open strips not to replace them.

i always thought they were copper like things.how should you go about repairing them. by adding a the paint to the connection break or just adding another layer overall. Because on my dad's i can see where the broken points are.

Can you use this to add more lines? I would like an extra line on the bottom.

I am just repairing the breaks, somehow most of the bottom driver side strips are scraped off....
