rear defrost wire broken

Hi,

one of the wire connecting the rear defrost system to the window is broken (I don't know who designed that s...t but it's nonsense )
I have no idea how to fix it, I already tried a couple of things, but none of them succeeded and the ford dealer doesn't know either.

Does anybody already fixed that kind of problem ?

Thanks for your help

Denis

rear defogger

I don't know about france but in usa you can get a repair kit.
It comes with liquid sticky copper stuff, like touch up paint and cardboard
so you can paint a line connecting the factory wires.
After a day or two drying, Works forever.
I'm suprised yor Dealer does not know this

If you can solder good with low heat electric you could solder a small copper
wire into the joint, not so pretty, but

Luck to ya,
