coolzone Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 well even though it is not your fault the customer is seemingly reasonable. I like the idea of him replacing the glass and retinting it for him for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr paladin Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 If the defroster was cut around were the taps are It can arc and shatter when the defrosteris turned on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHat22 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Mr. P is right about the arcing, but I personally have never seen one do this. I solder the defrost tabs back on glass regularly on GM vehicles including these and I have never seen one break. I have a Sebring conv. to do tomm. on a conv. Looks like the tinter (hack, not me) broke it off judging by the slice in the solder, not the glass, where it was trimmed on the inside. But all the same, I didn't see it, so I'm calling it a bad solder on thinner then normal glass and repairing it and charging the customer. Bad coincidence, let him or his insurance pay for it. NOT your fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nicetint Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 When you tinted the backglass did the defroster tab come off?? I worked with a guy that constantly unplugged them, rarely they would come off. He would either re-solder or 2-part conductive epoxy the tab back on. There was one case where the backglass shattered, because the glass got too hot caused by a resistance difference?? not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Key West Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 very wierd that happened...I dont know why people are always concerned about there defrosters, I cant remember ever using it in any vehicle I have ever been in I actually had a guy who was convinced that it dried the dew off the window during his morning drive to work!!! I convinced him to try driving to work without it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
