So I’ve had a little peep behind the cover without taking it off, there was room enough to see what I needed to without dismantling the whole lot, and it appears that the ribbon cable that joins the heated film element in the screen to the wiring is becoming detached at the glass. Guess that accounts for the gradually failing screen. Looks like I’m going to have to try my plan B option of installing a heated window to restore winter rear visibility. It might not work but I’ll be a guinea pig.
