Repair Of Broken Heater Line

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Prepare the following items:

  1. Conductive paint.
  2. Paint thinner.
  3. Masking tape.
  4. Silicone remover.
  5. Using a thin brush:

    Wipe the glass adjacent to the broken heater line, clean with silicone remover and attach the masking tape as shown. Shake the conductive paint container well, and apply three coats with a brush at intervals of about 15 minutes apart. Remove the tape and allow sufficient time for drying before applying power. For a better finish, scrape away excess deposits with a knife after the paint has completely dried. (Allow 24 hours).
