Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2004Rear window defroster.
I have been thinking of taking the old original window film from the rear window (all bubbled by the heat 0in my civic'91. Does anybody knows about any defrosting "lines" (kit) that is availablein the market?... Also, the button for the rear window defroster doesn't hold when I press it, so I don't know if it's on or off!...Does it suppose to work like this?...Is it broken?... I have never used the rear window de-fogger (defroster) because of this reason (the button), besides that I don't know if the lines would work properly if the button was holding , 'cause the window film bubbles (some window lines might be broken just cause this)!.. Thank you in advance!... > I have been thinking of taking the old original window film from the rear > window (all bubbled by the heat 0in my civic'91. Original? Dealer installed, perhaps, but I doubt it is a Honda OEM product. > Does anybody knows about any defrosting "lines" (kit) that is availablein > the market?... You can get repair kits to patch small breaks in the lines, I am not aware of any complete replacement kits. If you have the tint/film professionally removed, there is a good chance they won't cause (too much) damage to the defogger lines,. > Also, the button for the rear window defroster doesn't hold when I press it, > so I don't know if it's on or off!...Does it suppose to work like this?...Is > it broken?... On the US market '94 Civic, the button is just like you describe. It is the door-bell type switch that does not stay depressed. When I press the switch, a small indicator light in the switch comes on and I get the defogger working for 20 minutes or so before it turns off by itself. If I press the switch again before the 20 minutes are up, the defogger turns off immediately. Seems like this is the case with your '91 as well. I know in some other markets they use a regular on-off switch that stays depressed, and the defogger never turns off by itslef. > I have never used the rear window de-fogger (defroster) because of this > reason (the button), besides that I don't know if the lines would work > properly if the button was holding , 'cause the window film bubbles (some > window lines might be broken just cause this)!.. > > Thank you in advance!...

IIRC, the indicator light is a little hard to see if it's sunny out. I can cup my hand around it and see it (when it's on), though, IIRC. |
