Rear Window Defroster 

Checking the heating wire 

1.  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 

2.  Turn on the rear window defroster switch.  

Caution: 

●  Making the test terminal of the circuit tester 

contact directly with the heating wire of the 
rear window defroster may possibly damage 
the heating wire; therefore, please wrap the 
test terminal with the aluminum foil and make 
the aluminum foil contact with the heating 
wire for testing.  

 

3.  Connect the positive pole (+) of the voltmeter 

to the negative pole of the heating wire and 
make the negative pole (-) grounded.  

4.  Slide the positive test terminal slowly from 

the positive side to the negative side and 
check the voltage for the corresponding drop.

Installing the windshield  

Warning: 

● 

Please wear gloves when using the scraper, or 
else your hand may be injured.  

Caution: 

●  In order to prevent the sealant against 

cracking or prevent the glass from being 
pushed out by the air flow when closing the 
door, please have all windows open, until the 
sealant is completely hardened.  

1.  Use a blade to cut off the used sealant on the 

windshield frame, with a layer of about 1-
2mm{0.04-0.07in} thick left. If the sealant of 
certain part is fully removed, please apply 
some prime paint on it after the grease is 
removed, let it dry for 30min and then apply 
some fresh sealant to form a coating of 
2mm{0.08in} thick. 

 

2.  Clean the marginal zone of 50.0mm{1.97in} 

wide along the circle between the front 
windshield and the body.  

3.  Paste a piece of weatherstrip firmly at the 

position 18.0mm{0.71in} distant from the 
edge along the upper edge of the front 
windshield.
