rear defroster removal
The hatch glass defroster doesn't work on either of my cars, the one on my S worked when I got the car a few years ago but failed shortly after and I can't get it to work again. Anyway, I didn't use it much anyway, is there anyway to remove it? will a razor blade cut that stuff off the glass? Not sure if I really wanna do this yet, just wondering if its an option.

Just fix it. There is some goop you can buy. Use a multimeter in ohm mode and test the circuit or turn it on and use a test light and probe till you find the short. Would be much easer than removing it. GL

Ahh forget trying to fix it use your trusty friend the 10lbs sledge and break that sucker out. Naw just kiddin...it would probably be easiest to just fix it. And even if you dont fix it it's not like the defrost lines make that much of a difference in the look anyway. When I got mine I bought the rear window as dark a tint as possible you can't even notice the lines you might want to try that...but then again my windows doesn't got that plastic roll on tint s#%t is cam tinted so I guess I'm just lucky but ya try to fix it first.

Nope, trust me, I know from experience, a razor blade will scratch the window. I tried taking tint off my back window of my '79 with a razor blade at first, but it won't work without scratching, so I ended up using a heat gun and steel wool and fantastic to remove the glue.

I have an '80, and the rear lines that connect to the have been off for a long time. What would you suggest to reconnect the wires? Is there some sort of glue that I can use that will hold well and still allow them to work? Thanks in advance for any help.
