funola: Tks for this thread, and your details. This is emboldening me to try this job; I need to do it shortly. I've got both delamination and a leakage problem. Oh, and the defroster no longer works, probably because of the delamination!

I do have a replacement window, sourced years ago in a scrapyard.

One question for you? Is there a test - perhaps a resistance test? - to determine if the defroster in the replacement is up to par? I imagine it's not quite as simple as a continuity test...

Thanks again!
