If the tab breaks off the copper grid, buy a full repair kit (Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit) that has both a tab adhesive and gridline repair items (Permatex and Loctite manufacture them). The tab's adhesive is replaceable with the supplied conductive/adhesive mixture, and there is a seperate grid line repair fluid. Allow plenty of time to set and do not fit the tab with the wire attached or without sanding and preparing it with the activator pad supplied. If no grid comes off with the tab, you won't need to sand the tab.

A critical part of this work is that you can see no light around the tab connecting surfaces to the grid, after it has been glued. If you see light all around each tab to grid surface, there will be no conductivity to the grid as a whole, and the entire demister will not work at all. Ensure you place the tab over a different area of grid than that which you removed it from, so that it has full contact.   myxlfidian (150)
