Hi All,
Got a problem with my '06 Signum heated rear window - basically only the bottom three "lines" of the element are working.
Have only had the car 3 months and now it's frosty I have just noticed the problem. Upon closer inspection it actually appears that all the other lines of the heater element (which is "printed" onto the glass) have alternate light and dark areas along each line and then I realised this is because the metallic conducting part is actually missing in the lighter areas.
This is obviously a manufacturing fault and you would have thought this would have come to light after 2 years but of course the car was perviously owned by Vauxhall themselves and has only covered 5000 miles.
My question is therefore this: Has anyone else ever heard of such a fault ? the reason I ask is because I want a bit of background before I make a warranty claim against Vauxhall and they give the usual "looking at me as if I've got three heads" type treatment !!! Alternatively does anyone know if anything could be done without changing the whole rear screen ?
Thanks all in advance,
Steve C.
