Default How to fix rear window defroster
On my mustang, one of the rear window defroster connections fell off and is no longer attached to the window. I'm wondering if there is a way to re-attach it? Would a certain kind of epoxy work or can I solder it back on?

Permatex makes a rear defroster tab kit. Almost any parts store should have it

Any type of epoxy would need to conduct electricity to function.

Check this one out:

Edit: And somehow I missed DJ's reply from hours prior....

So - basically...."yea, what that guy DJ said".

You can solder it, but you need to be pretty good or it will look like shit. It's not the easiest solder.
