Filament Repair
- Use isopropyl alcohol to clean around the damaged section of the filament.
- Attach tape above and below the damaged section of the filament.
- Using a small brush or marking pen, repair the filament with silver paint or equivalent.
- After 2-3 min
, carefully remove the tape without disturbing the repaired area.
CAUTION:
- Do not use the rear window defroster until the paint is completely dry. It may cause other malfunctions if it is used before the paint is dry.
