CAUTION:
Do not use a flame type solder gun or an electric solder gun rated greater than 500 watts or damage to the glass may occur.
If the rear window defogger grid terminal(s) on convertible models is damaged or separated from the rear window, the new grid terminal(s) must be securely fastened to the rear window defogger bus bar by soldering.
- If the grid terminal(s) is broken and a portion of the terminal is still attached to the heating grid, remove the portion of the clip remaining in the wire harness connector(s).CAUTION: Do not allow the glass surface to exceed 204° C (400° F) when using a solder gun, or the glass may fracture.
- If the grid terminal(s) is broken and a portion of the terminal is still attached to the rear window defogger bus bar, apply heat with a solder gun to the portion of the terminal on the glass until the solder starts to flow. Remove the terminal and carefully smooth the solder on the bus bar. NOTE: Wait five minutes for the glass to cool after applying heat with a solder gun before proceeding.
