Rear window defroster problem
I took my rear window hatch off today and found that the two wires that connect to the window....one was hanging off. The small tab that is connected to the window is broken off.

Is there a way fix it where it has been broken off?

can you get a pic?

it might be able to be resoldered to the window.
ive done this before on an s-10 blazer, its a bit tricky but can be done.

you might have a hard time finding a shop that is willing/able to do it tho.

@fishing monkey - I started off on your build thread and ended up here.

I had the same problem with the rear defroster. This is what you need:

worked perfectly. an easy repair.
