  1. x2 on the tape seals, pull sweeps, and singe rear deck. I also pull the brake light- 2 screws. Maybe one last tip in my opinion, tack your center line about one grid up from the tabs. Did an 02 yesterday, first one in awhile, and the top half took more work than the bottom. These cars take a little bit of time to get them clean but they look harder than they are.

    I'd rather do these than Tauruses of the same generation :thumb

     NvrLate, you're 6 months late on this one  :lol

  2. Couple of quick questions - If I use the heat gun, which seems to work at least as well as the steamer and is less messy, is there any risk of cracking the glass? Can the heat harm the defroster lines?

    Crack? no. Blow up? yes. Tempered glass shatters into a zillion pieces when broken. Too hot here while cool there

    makes it unstable. I have seen glass "shudder" a split second before BOOM.

    The girl on the video is not doing it right for old film. Steam the film itself, hard and heavy so the steam goes through

    the film to soften the glue.

    Better yet, find a tint shop that will promise not to scrape it but will try to save the defroster. Can't always be saved.
