The epoxy adhesive reattached the defroster tab exactly as advertised and was very easy to use.

Easy and effective. Well worth the cost compared to the money I wasted on another brand.

Didn’t work with heat or 24 hour set time must have been old. I’ve heard good reviews but just didn’t work for me.

My daughter’s car, a 2013 Chevy Malibu had the rear window defroster quit working. I took it to a mechanic and they said the contacts on the window had broken off and suggested getting the rear window replaced to get it fixed. The rear windows are pretty expensive. I found this product, I also found some cheaper versions but feel like sometimes you get what you pay for so I bought this even though it was more expensive. Her window doesn’t have just tabs but long bars that contact the defroster in multiple places. I followed the directions and added the epoxy to the 5 points that I could see were previously bonded to the glass. I taped them in place and let them dry for 24 hours. I did this several months ago before it got cold. It is finally cold enough to test the defroster and it has been working great. It took a little time and effort but saved me a lot by not having to replace the glass.

Like many other people I tried the cheaper fix with no luck. Not only would I have to replace the window. I had to replace the top of my convertible. I followed the instructions to the t except I didn’t plug in the defroster till the next day. It worked. It may dislodge when I put the top down next spring but I have plenty of product left to re-attach. My only complaint is this product is not readily available in stores. However, I paid for Xpress delivery and it arrived a day earlier than promised. Your mileage may vary, but I’m a happy camper!

I know this product is quite a bit more expensive than the Permatex alternative, but if you go that route you will eventually have to buy this product anyways as the Permatex product is vastly inferior to this. Bite the bullet and get your job done right the first time with this product, I know I wish I had. Writing this review to hopefully save you guys a few bucks 😊

Used on rear defroster 2009 Yukon. I used hair dryer for 10minutes to help cure in 50F temperature. Then waited 3 days before reconnecting the wire.

It reattached the tab to my rear glass. It costs more. But it definitely worked to reattach the tab. Once reattached it showed good conductivity to the grid lines. So glad it worked.
