Will replacing the car film damage the rear window heating wires?
1 Answers
Heating wires are highly likely to be damaged, but using the correct method to replace the car film will not harm the rear window heating wires. During the replacement process, technicians use a heat gun to warm the film, ensuring it separates from the glass so the old film can be peeled off. If the heating wires are already broken, they cannot be repaired. Even a slight break in the rear window heating wires renders them ineffective, as it disrupts the heating function of the rear window glass. A break in the wires interrupts the circuit, and there is no way to fix them once they are damaged. While this does not affect the overall vehicle, it means you won't be able to clear fog from the window. If the wires break, the entire rear window glass must be replaced because the heating wires are installed during manufacturing and are very fragile. Although they are rarely used throughout the year, if they break, they should not be used or repaired—simply replace the glass.
