There was some sticky residue on the interior of my back window.

I got a razor blade (in a holder) and started to scrape it off as much as possible to be followed by some solvent to get the rest.

Guess what happens? This _should_ be in the manual somewhere as a warning:

Razor blade will scrape off the heating element! .

Nice huh?! I think I ruined two of the little rust-colored elements that run from port to starboard. The rest of them should still work though.

Don't make teh same mistake: NEVER use a scraper back there!

DAMMIT: the inconsistency (thinned and irregular line) is now VISIBLE when you look at it from outside the car!






They sell a kit at auto parts stores to fix the heating elements on the rear window. A long time ago, I had the window tint on my ex-Ferrari 328 removed and the A-Hole that removed it used a razor blade also. Of course, that completely ruined the functionality of the heating element on the rear window but I was fortunate to get the repair kit and got it fixed.
