2007 tahoe rear window defrost wire broke
The conector that is glued to the rear window for the defrost grid built into the window broke off. The conector is still in the wire plug. I can remove it and reglue it on the window. Is there a special glue or should I be looking for a new window?

You can try the defroster grid repair kits. They utilize a copper loaded conductive epoxy. Disconnect the terminal and glue it on. Also stretch the cord so that when the glass is in the closed position, there is no stress on the connector. This is about a 50-50 chance.

Yes can can be re glued with special glue for that. Both of mine came off I got the first stuff from Fisher Auto parts ( I can not remember who makes it) It worked great. When the other side came off I got Permatex brand from Auto Zone It fell right back off. I then used the first stuff and it has still not come back off. You can always go to a glass company.
