Description
While the 2000 Frost Fighter Tab Kit is generally recommended for 95% of tab repairs there are instances when soldering the Clip/Tab back to the defroster is preferable. When the defroster has a metal pad in good condition the 2010 Frost Fighter Solder Paste Kit is a good choice here.
Frost Fighter defroster solder paste is a special no clean formulation safe for extended use on defrosters. To solder the clips/tabs back on, clean both the tab and the landing pad using the kits sand paper. Apply the solder paste to the defroster use a soldering iron (200-watt is best). Make sure your iron is hot before starting as it typically takes a good deal of heat to melt the paste. A damp towel on the glass directly behind the solder point can help prevent glass breakage.
CAUTION: It is very possible to break the glass if it is overheated.
Avoid overheating window glass.
