You guys may consider this a ghetto fix, but I have successfully repaired a few old Rabbit and Scirocco ribbon boards this way.

Go to your favorite FLAPS store any buy the Permatex kit for repairing rear defrost lines.

Take a piece of aluminum foil and fold it a couple of times, use an Xacto knife to cut a small repair piece to bridge the gap. Carefully take the Xcacto knife and scrape away the plastic to expose the ends of the metal ribbon. Brush some of the Permatex repair stuff on the ends, lay your aluminum foil patch over the ends and brush some more repair "glue" over the patch. Let it dry overnight and give it a shot.

Its worked for me, YMMV.
