Bus Bar Lead Terminal Repair
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Important: Do not overheat the terminal when resoldering.
- Reattach the rear defogger bus bar lead terminals by soldering. Use a solder containing 3 percent silver and a rosin flux paste.
- Before soldering the bus bar lead terminal, buff the repair area using fine steel wool.
- Apply the paste-type rosin flux in small quantities to the bus bar lead terminal repair area using a brush.
NOTE:
Use only enough heat to melt the solder. Using excessive heat can damage the rear window defogger components or the rear window.
- Coat the soldering iron tip using solder prior to the repair procedure. Use only enough solder in order to ensure a complete repair.
