Permatex 09117 Complete Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit, Single Unit (Packaging may vary)

I got this because I had two lines not working on the back window of my car. It came with both a repair kit for the the printed lines on the windows and a glue kit for the tab that connects the printed elements to the electrical system.In my case the lines were not working but the break wasn't a gap in the line. Instead you could see where it was discolored on the outside of the window. I used the kit an painted it in, and saw that it had filled in the discolored spot. After letting it dry I tested it out and my the two formerly non working lines worked again. Others comment the color doesn't match. True enough, but it does do the job. I used Frog Tape to keep my lines clean when I painted them on.I thought I didn't need the tab glue but then my Jeep's rear defrost wasn't working at all. It turns out the tab had fallen off. I didn't have an ideal connection point for gluing it back but I cleaned it up followed the instructions and glued the tab back on. After that the defrost on the jeep worked. For me that was a nice bonus since I hadn't gotten the kit for the tab repair.The photo shows one of my repairs. I taped wide intentionally due to the kind of discontinuity in that spot. That may or may not have helped with the repair.Overall it seems expensive but it works.

My opinion is this kit has what you need to repair rear window defogger. I've tried this repair twice on my car, thought the second time would be a guarantee. Directions say to apply up to three coats until you can't see light coming through, then remove guide after 30 mins. I used painter's tape because I had several spots requiring repair and needed custom guide. When I removed tape after 30 minutes, most of the paint came with the tape. I've since seen some recommendations to "score" the paint before removing the tape. I have a spare brush and might have enough copper paint to try again, but disappointed the directions don't better address how the paint will come up with the tape if you don't score it.

Producto bueno y adecuado para su fin

I bought this kit so I could secure the connector that broke off on the rear window of my Jeep Wrangler. Because it's winter I removed the window and brought it inside so the glass would be warm when I tried to repair it. I followed the instructions to the letter. A few days after I reinstalled the glass I checked. The connector wasn't secured to the glass.

Presume every product review, regardless of favorability, is AI-generated--particularly those here on Amazon. Thus, you are best served by completely ignoring product reviews and buying the item outright. With that out of the way, here's my experience with the 'Permatex 09117 Complete Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit'.Product reviews for EVERY brand of window defogger repair kit are generally bad. So I figured I'd try a name-brand product. I found that the 'Permatex 09117 Complete Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit' basically does not work. If your window defogger has multiple lines that clearly do not work, replace the rear glass.If you insist on attempting this repair yourself, you are in for a frustrating experience. Here's a list of reasons:- A DMM tool will NOT work. This activity requires a special continuity tester tool that, unfortunately, can--and most likely will--damage to the window defogger lines.- You WILL find multiple false positive and multiple false negative areas along the window defogger lines. Some moments a false positive will read as a false negative while other times the reverse is true.- The 'Permatex 09117 Complete Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit' includes just ONE window defogger line "paint template" where a minimum of ten would is needed.- The "paint template" produces a window defogger line that is twice as wide as the OEM window defogger line. This makes EVERY repair quite ugly and very obvious.- The "paint template" is VERY difficult to position atop a presumed damage area.- The conductive paint dries on the brush within minutes, interrupting repairs until the bristles are refreshed.- This activity requires you to sit in awkward and uncomfortable positions; extend your head and neck into tight areas for extended period of time; and bend your arms and wrists unnaturally.- There are areas of the glass you will NOT be able to access.Bottom line:Decide if you can live with a couple dead defogger lines. Otherwise, simply replace the rear glass. This is really your best option. The hours you waste attempting to locate the break--or breaks--in the window defogger line(s) COMBINED with the ugly and obvious painted lines
