SUBJECT:
DEFOGGER CONNECTOR TAB DETACHED FROM REAR GLASS
PURPOSE
This bulletin contains instructions for reattaching rear window defogger tabs which may have detached from the rear glass.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The defogger terminal tab may come loose from the rear glass. In most cases the tab can be reattached using a special conductive epoxy, eliminating the
need to replace the complete top cover.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2001-03 Eclipse Spyder
PROCEDURE
1.
Cover the rear seat back with a drop cloth.
2.
Locate the detached terminal/tab and remove it from the defogger harness connector.
3.
Using isopropyl rubbing alcohol, thoroughly clean the tab and the defogger grid in the area where the terminal/tab will be reattached. If the
original tab is lost or damaged, use a new tab. The new tab has a pink solder flux for use when the tab is soldered onto the grid during topstack
production. If using a new tab, use isopropyl alcohol to clean off this pink flux.
4.
Mix the conductive epoxy using the instructions on the package.
