Anyone out there know of a source for an aftermarket rear window defroster? My new-to-me 80s Voyager was equipped with one, which needs to be replaced. About half the heater lines are missing or detached, and of those remaining, only one heats up. [I do not want to go thru the trouble of getting a liftgate from the junkyard that already has factory window defroster glass.] Suggestions appreciated. TIA Bob
There is a product out there. I think by Loctite. It is paint for grids on electric defrosters. You could look closely at the grid lines still attached, and see were the break is in the grid and use the paint and re-paint over the grid lines. I do not know off a aftermarket source, for a complete kit. I would give you mine since I use it maybe twice a year. Anyway, it is Spring here in Arizona, sorry to rub it in. ;)
Thanks, and yes you are rubbing it in! ... As we wait for yet another messy snowstorm here in Mass. I'll look up close on the gridlines. The issue might also be where the gridlines connect to side strips. At any rate it looks like a dog pretty much trashed the system with its claws on the glass. Thx Bob
source, for a
There used to be foil kits to apply to glass. They worked but that was a long time ago.
I used some paint on defroster grid to repair the defroster in one of my cars. I think the instructions said to only repair a maximum of 2 inches of grid.
I don't know what (if anything) will happen to defroster performance if you use more.
