Rep Power: 0 Are there places that can replace rear windshield heater wires?
2002 Civic we bought in September, I think: Previous owner had tint in the rear windshield and someone apparently used ammonia cleaner on it, botching it all up. We had a tint place replace the tint and in the process, they had to scrape the old tint off and broke the wires, so none of them work now.
I priced a new rear windshield at $300.
But are there places that can just replace the heating wires, for far less than that?
We're in the Denver area. I don't see anything with a quick Google search.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Go to Autozone or any similar consumer parts store, ask for a rear window defogger repair kit.
Can't promise how well they work, but they do exist.

Check auto glass shops? Insurance? Fight with the tint people?

I'm afraid that an honest approach requires that I pay for it out of pocket.

At one time, I saw a replacement wire mat you stuck on. You have power there.
