Rear Defrost FIX and BONUS EXPLOSION!

This video covers a couple methods for fixing your rear defroster, defogger. One method uses the Permatex Rear Defogger Repair Kit. #21351 (See link below to buy it.)... and a method in which we directly solder the broken tab onto the window. Watch the whole video as I intentionally explode the rear glass!!

I did a solder repair on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. I am glad I did not know about thermal shock at the time or I would have not soldered it. I did solder mine and it worked well. Seems good and strong.

I highly doubt the window would break by using a soldering iron for a few seconds.

Did solder repair with a pen solder iron. Worked well no broken glass. Glass shop told me in the glass would be $430 and that they couldn't solder it, well I guess I proved them wrong! 👍

They just thought u were a sucker and tried to jip you dude fuck them good for you

[@miatatommy2000]

Thank you for the video, you've given me the confidence to do this repair! 😊!

[@tripptraders]

Very informative and positively hilarious, you’re amazing… The running over the chicken part was especially funny

[@WrenchSense]

Aww shucks... Thanks for the comment!

[@COVMAPA]

Nice. Thanks for the post. Was pretty concerned about the thermal shock upon facing having to repair broken tab. I think you have a job with the Mythbusters in your future.👍🏻

[@WrenchSense]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment. I see its been a couple years. Not sure how I missed this comment.

[@scottmoola2311]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one. Never knew that glass is actually that tough. Thanks for the experiment

[@WrenchSense]

You bet! I was pretty surprised that it held as long as it did. Had fun doing this one. Thanks for the comment

My truck the piece that on the glass that the wire was connected to came off so it pure glass exposed does this Kit fix that ? There is nothing to solder on the glass anymore.

Permatex sucks after a week. Did all the correct things. An it just popped off. So. I guess I’m going to solder it on.

[@megaladog6517]

Permatex popped off within 24 hours of letting it fully cure. I'm inclined to try soldering at this point, though my grid pad is pretty messed up from a previous "repair" by the dealer.

[@wilmeralcideszelaya3514]

How recommended is it to solder with a soldering iron? 

[@stu962]

Verybuseful to know, gonna feel much safer soldering tabs on now

[@kevinm605]

I tried the Permatex, followed the directions TO THE LETTER. Tab fell of as soon as I took off the tape. Worthless. Gonna try soldering it this weekend

[@ramonqueloquera]

how what's it?

[@syedhaider2460]

My car defroster is not working

[@eliasvieyra5544]

[@gangrene58]

[@WrenchSense]

oops... Thanks for the comment

[@peterslanger6062]

Lucky you didnt burn up that solder gun...i melted one just like that.

Envision a vast featureless field of white cotton batting snow with only some smooth uniform lumps.. "Oh yeah. The car? It is parked here somewhere, I think. Wow, can you believe it drifted up over the signpost? Thank you so much for helping me dig it out. Well I gotta make this appointment, so when you think you'll have it out?" Yes, another unresolved murder occurred that winter.
