Heated rear screen..

My 2007 90 has a heated rear door window that the top 3 elements have bever really worked and i complained about it under warranty and the garage said i must have damaged it... no problem but it was in for a MOT on Monday and i got a call to say my high level brake light was inop due to it sharing a feed/earth throught the element sandwiched inside the glass which now appears not to be broken at all. I called LRCS and they know nothing of the bad batch of rear screens but i am sure i read of it on here, Anyone remember the thread as i believe there is a service bulletin regarding faulty units? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

High level brake light rubs through the glass electrical element. I had to run a wire up the side of the glass(tucked behind the rubber) to the brake light to get it to work again. My 3 elements for the heated rear screen are not working either. I have posted about this before so look up my posts and you will probably find more details.

Not 100% sure but I think the bad batch I read about may have been front screens. Steve.
