About a week after I bought the car in May I took it aftermarket for
window tinting. Now (5 months later) that its getting cool and damp in
the mornings I notice the rear defroster doesn't seem to be working.
It appears that the S-Balls who did the tinting cracked the male/female
electrical connection which powers the grid. That's right...The male
dingus was cracked off and jammed in the female whatsis rendering both
connectors unuseable. The beauty is that they didn't tell a sole and
stuck it all back together with Crazy Glue!!!! The time of year was
perfect because I had little or no use for it until recently. I had an
electrician friend of mine do a wire & solder job bypassing the damaged
parts...Works OK but I'll be surprised if it lasts. True to dealer form
all they can suggest is replacing the window on my insurance dime and
probably having to go through the idiot charade of actually breaking the
window to assure the coverage, and that would only take care of half the
connection!!! Does anyone have any idea where these electrical parts
can be obtained??
Thanks in advance Jon H.
Pls. post and EMail

I would think body shops deal with this regularly. I have no idea if the
parts might be available from the dealer, but an online source I've used
is www.subarugenuineparts.com . Also, I wonder if those parts have
changed much recently, a junkyard might have them.
