    If I could I'd bath my car in DeOxit!

    Great info, this stuff really works. I use it in the marine field for connections to radar, radios, chart plotters, etc.
    Top notch stuff for sensitive connections!

    I use DeOxit on my vintage audio amps. It does work great. But, I don't remember seeing any connection like that to our rear window. I guess just spraying all of the connections would the the route to go.

    You should probably try FluidFilm as well for marine (if havent yet). I'm thinking to use it on the E38 undercoating, that is also magical. Different purpose tho.
