I did a solder repair on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. I am glad I did not know about thermal shock at the time or I would have not soldered it. I did solder mine and it worked well. Seems good and strong.
Did solder repair with a pen solder iron. Worked well no broken glass. Glass shop told me in the glass would be $430 and that they couldn't solder it, well I guess I proved them wrong! 👍
Nice. Thanks for the post. Was pretty concerned about the thermal shock upon facing having to repair broken tab. I think you have a job with the Mythbusters in your future.👍🏻
Permatex popped off within 24 hours of letting it fully cure. I'm inclined to try soldering at this point, though my grid pad is pretty messed up from a previous "repair" by the dealer.
My truck the piece that on the glass that the wire was connected to came off so it pure glass exposed does this Kit fix that ? There is nothing to solder on the glass anymore.
I tried the Permatex, followed the directions TO THE LETTER. Tab fell of as soon as I took off the tape. Worthless. Gonna try soldering it this weekend
Envision a vast featureless field of white cotton batting snow with only some smooth uniform lumps.. "Oh yeah. The car? It is parked here somewhere, I think. Wow, can you believe it drifted up over the signpost? Thank you so much for helping me dig it out. Well I gotta make this appointment, so when you think you'll have it out?" Yes, another unresolved murder occurred that winter.
