About a week after I bought the car in May I took it aftermarket for window tinting. Now (5 months later) that its getting cool and damp in the mornings I notice the rear defroster doesn't seem to be working. It appears that the S-Balls who did the tinting cracked the male/female electrical connection which powers the grid. That's right...The male dingus was cracked off and jammed in the female whatsis rendering both connectors unuseable. The beauty is that they didn't tell a sole and stuck it all back together with Crazy Glue!!!! The time of year was perfect because I had little or no use for it until recently. I had an electrician friend of mine do a wire & solder job bypassing the damaged parts...Works OK but I'll be surprised if it lasts. True to dealer form all they can suggest is replacing the window on my insurance dime and probably having to go through the idiot charade of actually breaking the window to assure the coverage, and that would only take care of half the connection!!! Does anyone have any idea where these electrical parts can be obtained?? Thanks in advance Jon H. Pls. post and EMail
