The coiled wire connection to the rear window defroster has come disconnected from the metal connection on the window glass. What can be used to put this connection back? I assume current must pass thru the connection or is it just heat? Is there a special adhesive that is used?

 

If the terminal end has broken off the glass it can sometimes be soldered back on carefully otherwise a new rear glass hatch will be needed.

 

Will silver loaded conductive epoxy work? I know that it works for repairing broken grid lines where the tint guys get a little over zealous when trimming to match the lines. []

 

The flat metal tab on the end of the coiled wire is still intact. Looks like it just came off.

 

seems to be a big issue in colder states. my glass was replaced 2 times by gm under warranty on my 07 for this problem alone. finally on the 3rd time i tried to fix my self using conductive epoxy. well the clip has not come off, but the defroster currently is not working. i think i am going to try to add a bead of solder to connect the clip to defroster line...
