Need some conductive goop to fix botched rear defroster installation

[thedarkwolf]

I screwed up one side of my crappy after market rear defroster kit when I installed it and I am hoping I can fix it with some sorda conductive goop. The way this thing works is you lay down the wires then these foam strips then copper strips then bend the wires over the copper strip then put a plastic strip over the copper which holds the wires on the copper(wow thats a really bad sentence). I of coarse screwed up on one side being in a hurry and put the sticky plastic strip on before I bent the wires over the copper and had to pull the plastic back off breaking it in several places and screwing up the sticky stuff DOH. When I got it all back to gether several of the lines are not making contac with the copper strip so I am hopping there is something conductive out there that I can squeeze under the plastic to get this thing working right. I really don't care if it makes some really ugly mess this is my beater car so it really doesn't matter. Anybody got any ideas?

Most major auto parts stores sell a rear defroster repair kit. Also, to buy another add-on rear defroster they are very cheap, like $50. Another option is to go to a salvage yard and remove a rear glass from similar car that has a rear defroster. JCWhitney sells small fans that sit on the rear shelf that will blow air on the rear glass and defrost it that way. Their fan kit is under $10.

hehe should have thought of this before. My car is a hatchback and I see ones just like it in the paper almost every week for $100 or so maybe I should have just bought one of those and transfered the whole hatch to my car . I did look at those rear defroster repair kits but the only one I saw just didn't look like it would get the job done. I am going to my parents this weekend so I ll stop at a few more auto parts stores and see if they have a different one.
