3. Prepare the surface of the used defroster tab (not required for new tabs on new-style full-size utility models) and the defroster buss bar with fine
grain (500 grit) sandpaper or Emery cloth. It is not necessary to remove all of the original solder, but it should be scuffed sufficiently so that no
oxidation is present. The photo above shows a close up of a properly prepared surface.
Tip
You may want to mask the glass around the contact area with tape. This is easy to do and will allow you to safely prepare the contact surface
without the risk of scratching the glass or the black painted shading.
Important
Most rear glass has a black painted masking around the edge of the glass. When cleaning up the connection surface, be very careful not to
damage the surface of the black shading or the surface of the glass.
4. Wipe the newly prepared contact area with Kent Automotive* Acrysol(TM) (or equivalent) to remove any residual oil or dirt.
