Was that shock rattling?
Not rattling but every now and then I would hear a thunk. Could never pin point it. Even when I replaced all steering parts I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I just so happen to see the bushing torn a little when I was doing the brakes. Pressing it out finished it off for good. 20 bucks and all is well

I thought you could buy new tabs.. hmm

Here you go: https://www.frostfighter.com/defroster-tabs-uni-clip.htm (2300-URX is the one you want I believe)

This is who you need to order the correct material from anyway. This stuff works! Not that useless crap from the auto parts store.
Whew that's over $60 to repair two little scraps of aluminum....I think I'll try the permatex for $10 and cut some aluminum or try a junkyard for donors.

Go right ahead. No sense learning from others who have been in the same boat. The Permatex doesn’t work, I tried it twice. Wasted $20 and it made a mess that was harder to fix with the Frostfighter. So yessir, try that Permatex. Shit does not work. Good luck! :crazy:

I tried it too. So ended up costing me an additional $20.. up to you dude.
Well given that, I'll skip that route. Didn't know it was Permatex you were talking about. Sounds bad. Looked closer today and realized , the contacts are still in place on the window connected to the defroster.

They are only missing the part of the tab that connects to the plug. I'm gonna try to solder tabs made from a piece of 1/2 copper pipe, cut about 3/16 flattened into a 60 degree tab. It should be easy to tin, and highly conductive. Pinky finger for reference...NMxqiChmrEIfMMNbp3BrxJUqxx-QST9HDcmPA=w546-h728-no.png
I fit them and they stay on well. I'll bend to 60 and solder tomorrow. It's burger time!
