Will replacing the rear windshield film damage the heating strips?
1 Answers
The replacement of rear windshield film may damage the heating strips. Here is relevant information about heating strips: 1. Function: The heating wires are similar to resistance wires. Their purpose is to defrost or defog the glass during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather. When the driver turns on the defrost/fog control switch, the resistance wires heat up upon electrification, raising the glass temperature. The frost or fog attached to the glass melts into water droplets that flow down or evaporate as mist, thereby achieving the defrosting and defogging effect, allowing drivers to clearly discern rear traffic conditions and perform safe operations like reversing. 2. Consequences: Improper handling during the film removal process can easily cause the heating wires to break, resulting in the loss of the rear window defogging function. When heating wires break, they cannot be repaired, and the only solution is to replace the entire glass.
