rear defroster problem

[pepsi2185]

Im sorry its not a lincoln, but once again you guys are the most knowledgeable source that i know of. my gf has an 01 chrysler sebring convertible and the rear defroster terminal has fallen off of the grid. Before i bust out the soldering iron or the cheap fixes, does anyone have any experience repairing these. I have never had a car with this problem and would like some background before i try to fix it. Much appreciated.

Pepsi you are in luck.
:D
There is just such a peoduct to repair the terminal for your rear window defroster.
go to any auto parts store that sells permatex products and they will have or can order a repair kit to fix it, it is a strong resin with copper ground up in it, it comes in a kit just like a rear view mirror adhesive kit comes in.
If I where at work I would give you a part number but I am home.

Ah ha! I found it.

Don't even try to glue it on It will never work you will not likely find a low enough temp solder to do the job with out breaking the glass with the heat you will need to melt it.
