Rear window defogger

Buyer beware........is not a joke. Just discovered while having tint
put on my recently acquired 02,Sc2 that it had apparently had tint on
it before, and that whoever had removed it had damaged the rear window
defogger. Anyone have any ideas or experience on repair/replacement
and costs? Thanks

 

It really depends on where and how it is damaged. If the element is
just "scratched through" in a couple of places, it's probably worth your
time to try to fix it with conductive epoxy/paint. If continuity is
broken in a number of places then it might be better to just replace the
rear window and get a new element entirely.

Cheers,

 

I had a single "wire" on an old car get damaged removing a very old
inside sticker. I lived with it, although on very cold days, I had a
frost bar that didn't defrost till the car was warm. Bothered me.

Well I was told later, auto stores have a repair kit. Call around for
it. It was explained you mask off around the 'wires' and then paint
the cuts. Removed the masking tape, and like new.

Now I've never used it, but was told they do work, if you take your
time.
