(Home) Rear screen heater electrics in Model F (Sp+)

can anyone tell me how the wiring to the rear screen is earthed? i have a good feed through the element, the wiring goes off up into the rear tailgate and i can't follow it, i have tried giving it another earth but it still doesn't work? sorry its a model f 1986 2.00 litre.
also does anyone know where i can get a front body panel, mine has a recurring crack in it.

there's a couple of earth tags go onto the inside of the tailgate- some from stuff on the tailgate, at least one from the body loom. If you're getting a voltage drop (do the number plate lights and wiper work?) a short wire between the hinge bolts would cure it...
