Heated Glass Element: Service and Repair
Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken section must be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A) with fine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portion of the defogger wire (B) with transparent tape (C).
3. Mix the silver conductive paint thoroughly. Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of paint extending about 1/8 inch on both sides of the break.
Allow 30 minutes to dry.
4. Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
5. Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry 3 hours before removing the tape.
