Hey all, I threw on the hardtop after work today and there looks like there was some summer carnage. One of the defrost tabs is separated from the rear defroster. This summer while I was in the backyard there was a little bird under it and couldn't seem to find it's way out and was beating itself against the back window so I am thinking that is how it got separated before I had a chance to lift the back window and let it out. Looks like a clean break so I was wondering if anyone knows what type of adhesive I would use to put it back on. I assume that it has to be highly conductive. Crappy tire? Napa? Thanks John

The adhesive stuff I've seen is usually for the grid itself.... to fix a broken line. Not sure if it'll work for the main connection points.
Wonder if giving a shout to a glass shop would lead you in the right direction on how to properly fix it? Bill

I've managed to solder one back on before, but you need to let the glass warm up really well before trying it.

They do sell the proper glue for that at Crappy Tire, it is in the same area as the defroster line repair stuff.

You can buy the adhesive at CT or auto parts places. I had the same thing on our TJ and it didn't fix it, I think I had a few broken lines as well.

Thanks guys, I figured they would have some kind of adhesive, but I will probably pop by a glass shop first to see if they can fix it for a reasonable price...
