I would believe a demister is actually commonly know as a rear defogger. A long coil that loops the rear window that heats up to remove condensation caused by the interior of the car being colder than the temperature outside the car. Think of it this way: A glass filled with ice-water will have moisture on the outside of the glass. Imagine if you warmed the glass to the same temperature or higher than the air around it, the moisture would evaporate. The rear demister works in the same way. The lines going across your rear window is actually a single thin piece of metal with wires attached on either end. When electricity is applied, the metal heats up warming the window.

Why won't Rover 45 rear window demister work?

Check the fuse, behind the drivers storage cubby (below and to the right of the steering wheel). Check the connection of the wiring to the rear window. Examine the demister circuit covering the rear window for any breaks. This is the usual place for any faults. A circuit board mending pen can be bought from electronics stores, that may repair faulty demister tracks. (Rover 400)
