77 280z Coupe - Back Window Defogger -

[jthill3]

Well the read window defogger is not working but I know the window is getting fire.

So I got some of the replacement Defogger Repair Kits to "paint" in the spots.

However I found that the spots are too great to repair this way.

Does anyone know if there is a replacement "grid" anywhere or does anyone know where to get a replacement window with a working or near working grid?

Thanks

Tommy

Tommy, I used a 2 part epoxy to repair mine, not the normal conductive paint. It claims to be able to bridge 10" gaps. Details are in the last post in this thread:

There are some places that sell kits to completely replace the froster grid, like

this one: http://www.frostfighter.com/prt2600.htm

I ordered from http://www.frostfighter.com/prt2600.htm as suggested and it came with directions and seems very simple to set up. Gotta wait now for a day over 70 degrees outside..

Thanks for the tip.

You mean now you'll need a day when it's 7 outside? To see if it works!

I'm sure he means that it requires 70 degree temp to install it. In another thread on this subject, we talked about the fact that I had purchased a replacement rear glass a few years back to solve the defroster problem. I recently checked with my source and replacements are no longer available through Nissan.
