recommend product for rear defrost wires fix.

Featured Replies

I know there is a product to paint on the rear defrost broken grid wires....but have searched and cannot find the name of it.

 

anyone?

 

 

I have 5 scratched on the middle section of my lgt. Would like to get this taken care of before winter mode.

 

 

and does the stuff work.

I have used it and it works ok. I think GD mentioned that he used a silver pen and that worked good. I would go for the pen method if I were to do it again.

I've seen several links to this site, but I haven't tried their products.

hmmm, if you were really good at masking, you could scrape off ALL the original lines, and then create a 'custom' design for your defogger.

 

maybe something that looks like this;

Ordered the permatex stuff off Amazon, and used some advice from the reviews on there before I started my project.

 

The bottle is dinky dinky. But the stuff really goes along ways, i have tons left.

 

First advice, use blue painters masking tape instead of the packaged grid thing.

 

Second, cut 75% of the bristles off the brush supplied with the permatex kit, you only need a small amount of bristles on the brush.

 

I had I think 7 or 8 grids that were not functioning to start with.

 

After following the instructions, i proceeded to peal off the tape after letting dry for 20 minutes. One grid the repair stuff pulled up some with the tape, not much, but I waited 24 hours to try them out, as directions state.

 

All my grids but 2 were functional. One of those is the part where the tape pulled it up some. The other one, i don't really see any issue so meh.

 

I have just gone out and touched up the one where the tape pulled, and will assume it will be fine now.

I pulled the tape off right away after the 3rd application.

 

I would pull the tape off after 5 minutes, even though the instruction says wait 20min.

 

 

 

Will report back.

 

Hope this can be of some help.
