This is the second product I purchased to fix my tab which detached from my rear window defroster. The first product, a well known brand, cost three times as much as did not work at all. This product had easy to follow directions, took six minutes to complete and works great. I would highly recommend this for anyone who needs to reattach the rear defroster tab on their vehicle. It was cold when I used this product so I did warm the window with a hair dryer. Product was shipped quickly and received in just a few days. Thank you!!109178

Used the tab adhesive kit as directed and was very easy to apply. Waited the 24 hours as recommended and was a success. Defogger worked very well with a little dew on the glass this morning. It may take another month or two down here in Louisiana to get a good test on the final result but I have faith all will be well. Thanks to etrailer.com I probably would not have found a DIY product locally.95941

Worked well for a while and then suddenly stopped working. Used some leftover grid repair compound to encircle the tab on the glass and has been working fine. Cant explain why it quit. If it quits working again, Ill just use solder.

Although its a great concept to be able and repair defroster grid lines or re-attach the connector to the grid, it didn't work for my 2002 Tahoe (made the adhesive connection but not the electrical)-and many online forums and my mechanic said the same thing. Basically you usually have to buy a whole new rear glass. I guess this is worth a shot but don't count on it.309105

etrailer.com did a great job all through the buying process! They emailed me every step of the way. I have used them in the past and will continue in the future.
I have not had time to use the product yet, but you cannot go wrong with Loctite and etrailer.com had the best price and lowest shipping!!114236

Product worked great. Ordering was easy. Delivery was fast! Great company to deal with. Will definitely be purchasing from etrailer.com again!159052

Great product, easy to use! Make sure you follow the instructions exactly though! I installed during the Winter in about 35 degree temperatures, so I used a hair dryer to heat the contact points and the product before applying. One other thing I ran into, was the defrost tab not sticking to the window surface initially. I realized that my tab was bent slightly, and not making a solid contact. Make sure you clean both surfaces very well with alcohol as directed (I even sanded the tab a bit to get ALL residue off), and if your tab is bent slightly (like mine was), make sure it is completely flat before installing.113952

A little hard to control the packet when dispensing the adhesive, but all in all a good product. Had to redo the repair after the Permatex product I originally used lost electrical continuity. Apparently this adhesive has maintained the conductivity after drying, checked with an ohm meter 24 hours after application and still showing connected circuit.157983

Product is exactly as described. And it did a perfect repair to my grid connectors.
The company E TRAILER was especially helpfull following the transaction from start to finish.
Shipping was very fast. I am very happy with this company.364836

Product did not work at all on repairing rear window defogger tab that had broken off on a 2012 Chevy Tahoe.610721

The two main reasons the adhesive will fail to work are improper surface preparation and having the ambient temperature too low or too high. In order to get the adhesive to stick correctly, all the old adhesive must be removed from the window and the defroster tab. Sometimes youll need to use a razor blade to scrape off the old glue. The adhesive works best in temperatures between 50 F and 75 F.

Product was pretty straight forward to use. Make sure the temperature is appropriate and clean the area and the tab with rubbing alcohol prior to using the product. I just reattached a couple of days ago and it seems to be holding up ok, but the real test will be if it stays connected months from now.

Worked like a charm! Followed the instructions on the back and the tab is back on the car, just like stock ('98 Taurus Wagon)538797

This product works great. For the ten dollars and the ten minutes it takes, it is well wiliest it. Very easy to use. Follow instruction on package. 328001

I RECEIVED THE PRODUCT IN JUST A FEW DAYS AND WAS PLEASED WITH HOW EASY IT WAS TO USE. VERY EASY APPLICATION AND SEEMS TO BE WORKING GREAT! SO GLAD TO HAVE MY REAR DEFOGGER WORKING AGAIN! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!155346

The adhesive adapter works great and it was delivered on time and in great condition! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.325493

I was able to repair the broken rear defroster tab myself with the instructions provided. Will now have to wait 24 hours to see if rear defroster will work.560388

Clear instructions, easy to use, so far so good my rear defogger now works!110911

Excellent product from a reliable source. Easy to use and much more inexpensive than a complete replacement. 76490

it certainly bonds the defogger and the terminal.
instruction and the components seem better than
permanex kit. not to mention cheaper too100249

Product delivered on time and intact. 324579

The product worked great for me for a couple of months, but following a severe cold snap here in Colorado, the adhesive failed and the contact fell off.As such, I am again without rear window defrost unfortunately.Not yet sure if I will purchase another Loctite product and try again, as winter temperatures will not allow me to try again for a couple of months.

Great product at an excellent price. Easy to use if you follow the instructions. 58451

I just used it last week and it seems to be working great. It was easy to apply but a little tricky to use in the winter. I had to use a lamp to keep the window warm enough. Your company was very easy and helpful to order from.71592

Purchased this product to reconnect defroster wire to back glass on a 2014 Mustang. I followed the directions, but the wire did not stay fastened to the window. 733077

Tab Adhesive Product actually worked, and well, as you only get one try for this. good thing, I work for a sister company of Loctite. And couldn't find this in ANY local parts store.13184
