Yup, good stuff, used it many times. It does what it's supposed to do if you follow the directions: adhesive that conducts electricity. They also make a product that you can "paint" on if one of the lines of the defroster breaks, that's good stuff too.

alrighty i bought it but it didnt work on the wire on one side

it did work on the other side tho


the passenger side tab is still on but the wire broke off the tab

I guess i need to solder it

IM open to suggestions tho

Edit: This is how it broke

the tab is still on the glass

Ahhh, piece of cake. Solder it back together using rosin core solder. DON'T solder on the glass... BOOM, big mess.
