Rear Defroster Wire Broken
One of the element wires to the rear window defroster broke at the terminal point on the window. I talked to a dealer and they said I would have to replace the entire window. I am asking if there is a different way to fix the problem so I don't have to spend over $700 just to fix a broken wire. Any suggestions?

I agree with E-T, try that method first. Heck of a lot less expensive.

If the power feed wire connector broke off then silver epoxy will bond it to the glass, silver epoxy is conductive. https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&pag...silver%20epoxy.
