Filament Repair
- Clean the filaments using isopropyl alcohol.
- Affix tape along both sides of the filament to be repaired.
- Apply commercially available silver paint using a fine-tipped tool such as a small brush or a drawing pen.
- After 2-3 min,
peel off the tape being careful not to damage the painted area.
CAUTION:
- Do not operate the rear window defroster until the repaired area is completely dried to prevent a malfunction.
