    Extended warranty didn’t cover this because they had to “replace entire back windshield”, gonna try this cause I’m sure that’s all it needs. Thanks for all the details!

    Great video, just wish you would answer the questions in the comments. I just purchased a used vehicle and found nearly all 17 grid lines broken near the ground side rail. I am wondering if there is enough material in the bottle to repair all 17 lines?

    How is it holding up after a year? Does the paint wipe off if you clean the window with alcohol as a degreaser? What about if you use a glass cleaner. Thanks in advance and Great video BTW.

    Hello there. I've checked all my defrost lines from the start point. But my 4th line has only 0.5 volta where as others are 12v

    If I have tint on my rear window, do I have to peel it off?

    • @homebuiltshop
      @homebuiltshop  7 місяців тому

      You do need to be able to get to the actual grid lines so you'll have to remove the tint. It stinks but there's no way to get to the lines without.

    I know this video is old but what if you scraped the grid. I have an 08 ford escape and a piece of furniture while I was moving scraped the grid. It's like one big stick on piece. Everything I find is quick fixes of the copper but mine is all one piece. I couldn't find any parts online

      I don't think you can apply it over the window tint.

      You need to be able to get to the grid lines in order to patch them up. I don't know of any way to do that if the tint is covering them.

      it is not glue, it is varnish. The one here i don't know, but you can find the datasheet on the constructor site.

      Harbor Freight or any auto parts store. Home Depot/Lowe's, etc. It's a very common tool.

    This is only for hatch back cars, it doesn't work very well for fixed window sedans. Not to mention you are only using it in a few small parts its not enough paint to do even a quarter of a window. It's near impossible to masking tape up a grid in a sedan. Only get this if you have a hatchback and a couple small spots to mend. This is not a fool proof solution and if you use the template you will have over paint and it will look terrible.
