  • Rear window not demisting fully

    Has anyone else had their back window not demisting fully?

    Hi, firstly welcome to the club. What model of DS3 do you have? Looking at that pic, its possible several rows of the heating element on your rear screen are broken. Can you see any cracks or breaks in the element itself in those rows?

      Hiya, I have a similar problem except it's the bottom of mine which doesn't work. I know that the bottom 2 heating elements have scratched off so that is the cause for me. I would assume that it's the same for you, as mentioned above

          Probably where previous owners have had stuff rammed in the boot and it's broke a few tracks.
          Locate the breaks with a test light and then you can repair them with a kit from eBay or Halfords etc.

            Agree with above, the elements are to blame.

            It happens when the boot is slammed shut too hard, when people are cleaning the inside glass or trying to remove a dealer sticker.

            You will most likely end up needing a new rear glass.
