I've got the same problem on my '04. My vette mechanic used a soldering kit on it to no avail - it came off shortly afterwards. I'd love to hear if anyone's got another solution.

You may want to do a search on this topic if you have not already done one. I believe this has been discussed before. It would be a shame to have to replace the whole window

Had it happen on my Z06 as well. Easy solution...Permatex sells a kit specifically for this: http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...b_Adhesive.htm
Runs about $6.00 at your local auto parts store. Kit I picked up was a combo kit with this and the grid repair. Works well. Has been on my Z06 for over 2 years now with no issues at all!!
