1. Use white gasoline to clean around the damaged section of the filament.




2. Attach tape above and below the damaged section of the filament.
3. Using a small brush or marking pen, repair the filament with silver paint or equivalent.
4. Use a hot air blower heated to 150 °C { 302 °F } for 30 minutes or let the paint set for 24 hours at 25 °C { 77 °F } to allow it to dry completely. Do not use the rear window defroster until the paint is dry.
