Rear window defroster

I have an 03 Renny that just turned 47k miles and yesterday I notice that the attachment for the rear window defroster has pulled off from the rear window.

Not that the wire has come unplugged, but the contact has just pulled off the glass itself. It wasn't caught by anything or even touched, I just noticed it hanging while driving the other day.

Does anyone know if it is something that can be fixed or does it require new rear glass?

Im sure you can solder it back on. Ive never tried it before but im sure its doable.

Your local auto parts store will have a kit to fix it. Its like a liquid solder.. I have done it before.

There r 2 kits for this. 1 fixes broken traces (not ure problem). The other fixes the attachment tab. Check JCWhitney.
