Rear Window Defogger Braided Lead Wire Repair

The rear window defogger bus lead wire or the terminal can be reattached by resoldering. Use a solder containing 3 percent silver and a rosin flux paste.

2. Apply the paste-type rosin flux in small quantities to the wire lead and the bus lead wire repair area using a brush.
3. Coat the soldering iron tip with solder. Use only enough solder to ensure a complete repair.




4. Use only enough heat to melt the solder. Do not overheat the wire when resoldering to the bus lead wire.
