3. Inspect the rear window delogger grid lines.
4. Mark the grid line break on the outside of the glass with a wax pencil or a crayon.
5. Buff the grid lines that are to be repaired with steel wool. Wipe the lines clean using a cloth dampened with alcohol. Buff and clean about 6 mm
(0.25 inch) beyond each side of the break in the grid line.
6. Attach a grid line repair decal or two strips of tape above and below the repair areas.
-
A repair decal or tape must be used in order to control the width of the repair areas.
-
If a decal is used, the die-cut metered slot must be the same width as the grid line.
7. Apply the grid repair material to the repair area using a small wooden stick or a spatula. The grid repair material should be at room temperature.
