natanggal na defogger

**wewoy_romero** · September 5th, 2007 11:12 AM

hi guys -

i thought my defogger was broken, pero nung tinignan ko, natanggal lang pala yung isang connection. it's a two-pronged metal something stuck sa rear windshield.

i tried putting it back with electrical tape and tested. gumana. kaya lang, natatanggal pa rin. any ideas how to permanently attach it? super glue is out of the question kasi hindi magdidikit yung contact points. i'm thinking of glue gun or silicon.

thanks in advance

hindi kasi pwedeng sa gitna ng contact points lagyan ng adhesive. if that will be the case, there won't be any contact between the two surfaces to close the circuit. kaya nga gumana yung electrical tape and kaya ayaw ko sana gumamit ng super glue.

Take it to a glass shop that specializes in rear windshields. Better have them do it and have them commit the mistake (and replace at their expense if so) than you break your own car and pay out of pocket money to have it replaced.

nyak. sobra na ata yun sir. will try to dab a very small amount of superglue muna. yung hindi ma-coat yung entire surface. hopefully it works

"i thought my defogger was broken, pero nung tinignan ko, natanggal lang pala yung isang connection. it's a two-pronged metal something stuck sa rear windshield."

wow mali, i thought yung connection na natanggal ay yung two pronged metal na sinasaksakan. sorry

yesterday, i dabbed some superglue (very little amount) and idinikit ko. i'll test it tonight kung gumagana by misting the rear view mirror and turning the aircon full blast.

it's not a cut in the strip. in my car (civic 98), sa sides ng rear windshield, meron metal na nakadikit dun sa defogger lines (one sa left, one sa right). natanggal yung isa. i guess this provides the juice.

i'll post a picture tonight para mas madali maintindihan hehe.

i think you need a soldering tool ... but you have to do the soldering process very quickly ... otherwise, you could end up with more damage than you started with
