DIAGNOSIS
Testing Rear Window Defogger Grid Line
If it has been observed during use that a grid line is inoperative, the following procedure can be used to find the break. If none of the grid lines is operating, a full system diagnosis should be completed before attempting to repair the grid lines.
- Turn the ignition ON.
- Turn the rear window defogger on.
- From the inside of the vehicle, connect a voltmeter to each end of a grid line. The voltmeter will indicate battery voltage if the grid line is open.
Notice : Use care when touching the voltmeter leads to a grid line. If the leads are roughly applied, the grid line may be scratched, resulting in an open circuit.
- If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter lead from one side of the grid line and retest at a point nearer to the other side of the window. Continue to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter leads closer to the opposite side of the window from where it was originally placed. The break in the grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage.
- If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter lead from one side of the grid line and retest at a point nearer to the other side of the window. Continue to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter leads closer to the opposite side of the window from where it was originally placed. The break in the grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage.
- Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of marking directly on the grid line, and make the mark far enough from the grid line so that it can easily be removed without disturbing the repair.
- Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of marking directly on the grid line, and make the mark far enough from the grid line so that it can easily be removed without disturbing the repair.
- Use a grid line repair kit to fix the break in the grid line. Refer to "Rear Window Defogger Grid Line Repair" in this section.

Inside Rearview Mirror Support
The inside rearview mirror is attached to a support which is secured to the windshield glass. The support is installed by the glass supplier using a plastic-polyvinyl butyl adhesive.
Service replacement windshield glass has the mirror support bonded to the glass assembly. In order to install a detached mirror support or to install a new part, the following items will be needed:
- Loctite® Minute-Bond Adhesive.
- Original or replacement mirror support.
- Wax marking pencil or crayon.
- Rubbing alcohol.
- Clean paper towel.
- Fine grit sandpaper (grit #320 or #360).

- Mark this position on the outside of the glass with a wax pencil or crayon. Draw a large diameter circle around the mirror support location on the outside of the glass.
- Clean the inside surface of the glass with a domestic scouring cleanser, a glass cleaning solution, or a polishing compound and paper towels. Rub the glass until the area is completely dry. When the area is dry, clean the area with an alcohol-saturated paper towel in order to remove any traces of the scouring powder or the glass cleaning solution.
- If the mirror support is new, clean the bonding surface with fine grit sandpaper #320 or #360. If the original mirror support is being used, all traces of factory installed adhesive must be removed prior to reinstallation.
- Wipe the sanded mirror support with a clean paper towel saturated with rubbing alcohol. Allow the support to dry.
- Follow the adhesive kit manufacturer's directions for adhesive application and mirror support preparation before installing the mirror support to the glass.
- Position the mirror support to its premarked position. Use steady pressure and press the support against the glass for 30 to 60 seconds.
- After 5 minutes, remove the excess adhesive with an alcohol-moistened towel or a glass-cleaning solution.
