Review: Does the job. - 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.
Review: It Works! - I was skeptical that this would work as described since it had so many mixed reviews. I found the reviews a little deceiving as this is actually two separate repair solutions in one kit. One of the solutions (the one I did not use) is to re-attach a broken "tab" that connects the main power line to the defrost grid. The other solution is the grids themselves. This product worked well for bridging broken grid lines back together. I used blue painters masking tape rather than the one (1) supplied mask since I had several breaks on five different grid lines to repair. I followed the instructions to a tee and the conductive paint worked great. There was enough in the small bottle for my seven breaks with a little left over. After 30 minutes I removed the masking tape and after another 24 hours I ran the defogger to test it. I could feel with the back of my fingers that each individual grid line was now heating up. The most difficult part was placing the masking tape on the window such that there was a small enough spacing for the grid lines. My window is angled and hard to reach the furthest grid lines toward the back. With some patience I was able to get it. The color of the paint is slightly lighter than the original grid material but not noticeable from the inside of the car. It is slightly more noticeable from the outside, but to me still worth it to have a functioning defogger again. I am more careful now when cleaning the back window to (hopefully) not disturb the repairs. I can't speak to how long the repairs will last and will update this review if I start to see failures.

### ⭐ Wouldn’t buy again, going to try something else
*by K***X on October 30, 2025*

Bought this in April and just getting around to using it in Oct. Did everything per the instructions, mixed the adhesive for well over 5 mins and it never turned the beige color it was supposed to. Kept mixing, no change, went ahead and used it anyway and then held the tab in place for 5 mins even though it suggested 1, It didn’t adhere. I do not see an expiration date on the packaging so I’m not sure if that had anything to do with it.
