Id imagine theres a way because when my tint was took off by the previous owner the defrost lines got pulled off. Well some at least.

 

Is it clean where the defrost lines were? I mean, is there any residue or anything that is visible from the outside or the inside?

 

on mine? you can tell were they were. It only happend in a few smaller places... but it took of the wire stuff but there is lines of what looks to be like glue stuff to hold it on?.. or maybe it just is dirty around it and needs a good cleaning.

 

Plastic scraper wont get it off. That stuff is on there pretty good. Try a razor blade; stainless wont scratch glass. Or a blade and a harsh solvent (methylene chloride based stripper). Making "stripper in a can" jokes is optional, but I always do

 

Lol, thanks guys. Im gonna try it on a junkyard window.

 

it would be waaay to much work to take it off, just buy a used one . I got one off a member on here . But a jumkyard should be able to find you one , worst case you have to get one from the ole usa .

 

Yeah, I guess Im gonna go ahead and pay 800$ for a new one. Used one I saw arent in good condition. Its hard to find a scratchless, non-pited, 20+ years old glass.

 

I wouldn't buy a new one, thats crazy. I had the defrost glass...I went to my local junkyard and found a camaro with the glass no defrost or 3rd brake light. It looked terrible. I cant think of words to explain it. Anyways, I was totally against buying it, but I bought it anyway for $110. I spent like a week getting old tint and crap off, and cleaning it. It looks brand new now. Sold my old glass for $25.

Now I know you are in Canada, so finding a defrost-delete glass is probably not going to happen...but you could atleast find one with the defrost. I would do that before I spent $800 on a new one.

Also don't count on removing the defrost lines...I tried that before I went and bought one. It won't work.

 

Thanks a lot for that info Spiers. I ordered a new defrost glass, gonna invest the 400$ left on something else.
