removing ugly defrosters

is removing the rear defrosters possible? some people say they are built into the glass. can i scrape them off or pull them out somehow? has anyone tried to get rid of them? they are ugly as anything, especially with tint so i want to get rid of them.

They aren’t “built in” to the glass, so you can probably take it off, I dunno how difficult it will be though. Try a razor blade?
But what happens if your windows fog up? Maybe you don’t have that problem where you live, you lucky bastard! hehe
Good luck.

If you use a razor blade the only thing that will come off is the metal, the brown lines are baked into the glass they will not come off. :down:

didn’t .J. take his off?? or did he find a piece of glass without them…either way I know he dosen’t have any on his rear hatch

but…but… you can’t see through fog… thats why you have a DEfogger… Hrm… sometimes… i really don’t get people…

Just break it and put plexi-glass on :smiley:

BTW…its horrible without the defroster in the rear…I had a broken 1 b4 and I couldn’t see sh!t.

where can i get glass like that?

anyone know how much that FAL window is? and how scratch resistant it is?

oh, and to anyone gettting rid of their old hatch glass. DON’T break it!!! That glass costs about $900 from acura. So i’d suggest first trying to find someone needs a replacement and sell it to them for like $200 or so. Cause even if they get a non oem one its probably gonna be minimum $500. Of course its pretty hard to find people who need one though. Thats why hatches don’t sell for much usually. But hey, its worth a shot.
