 Posted: Fri, 7th Jul 2017 15:26 Post subject: Fucked rear of my old car -> new car |
|
 |
- I have an Opel Corsa C since some years
- Some weeks ago i decided to put on tinted foil on the back windows myself
- back side windows went pretty good
- rear window looked like shit, because of the bulge
- to afterwards shrink the foil in form on the edges, i ordered a heat gun
- it didn't really help much anymore, as there were already too many wrinkles on it
- so then i decided to just scrap off the foil again, and think of another solution
- in that process i damaged the rear window heating, as it wasn't working anymore
- ordered some silver lacquer to repair the interruptions of the heat circuits on the window
- after measuring today to find the interruptions, it turns out i pretty much destroyed all of the rear window heat circuits
- i thought only the visible copper lanes were responsible for the voltage and heating up. Turns out it is the black surface (probably graphite?), which i scrapped of most of the parts when removing the foil 
Bad news, i will get probably much less money for the car now.
Good news, i have a good reason to get a new car very soon, before winter comes. 
Wanted to buy a new one anyways, as i need more power and a fucking air conditioner.
Thanks for reading.

Don't put an air conditioner in your car bob, just buy one with climate control.

Bob, next time please ask for some advice before you do something. 
I'm sorry for your loss. (well not really, since mr. fancypants is getting himself a new car! )

When one thinks about it, the title 'fucked rear of my car' along with all the sexual innuendos are a bit suspicious indeed. The explanation is plausible, but what if...things went differently  |
