My rear window defrosters.. how do i..
Saturday, August 27, 2005 1:39 PM
ok.. on my car on my rear window.. the 2 block things i dunno what they really are.. but they are jsut hanging off the window and the wire is teh only thing holding them up.. the 2 legs or w/e arnt touching the orange box on teh window at all.. what do i do to reattach them cuz i am starting to need them for the mornings.. I wouldnt think just sealant or sumthing would work..

I couldnt really find anything in a search but i would love someone to prove my searching skills wrong lol.. cuz i know someone has had to have this happen before..

By any chance you have a pic, i cant visualize what you are talking about. My sunfire has rear defrost as well, But no orange boxs, legs or blocks.

Permatex makes a kit called "Rear Defogger Tab Adhesive" which is electrically conductive. You could try soldering them back on, but I've tried it before (on a convertible, which is more prone to breaking off with movement of the top folding) and had no success. Should be available at any parts store... Cost about $10 or so.

Don't use anything like super glue or epoxy... won't conduct electricity.
