Can The Rear Defogger Grid Wires Be Re-soldered back on (123)?
Today I decided to remove the rear window on the 123 to deal with rust under the rubber molding. When I removed the Glass I did not follow the FSM. I removed the outer metal trim and worried the Glass out with plastic interior/trim removal tools.
Ounce it was out and the rubber was Off I found that the rust was not extremely bad but that the Glass had be sealed with regular house type window putty/Glazing Compound.
From the bits of glass I found in the back of my car while cleaning ; apparently at some time the Prior Owner had replaced the Glass due to original being shattered (replaced with used). Evidently re-sealing it with regular window putty.
Question is it safe and will it work to use Paint Thinner on a rage to wipe up the window putty residue; or is there something Better?
When the PO installed the apparently used rear window glass it cam without the Defogger Grid wires attached. Can these wires be re-soldered to the grid? (Has anyone done this before?)
