Default Rear Defroster Not working Correctly Help!

Hi Everyone, Need Help I discovered that the passenger side rear window defroster contact has come off along with the metal spade connector that attaches to the foil square. Can this be reattached? Is there a metalized glue or does it have to be spot welded back by the dealer? The Rear glass was Just removed and reinstalled by a glass company for painting of the Lip below the window . Please let me know what my options are......... Thanks Dr C5 Corvette~

I'd take it back to the place that removed it and have them repair it.

OK Problem Fixed, It is Rather Easy. light sandpaper to both surfaces and added a little flux then Just Soldered it right back on with ( flux and radio shack solder) and a hot soldering Iron Good as new. I got the info from my Friend and a chevrolet Dealer Hope this may help someone else. Thanks Dr C5 Corvette~

I had the same problem with my wife's 04 Suburban. I soldered it back on also. Yes, a clean surface does the trick. I also made sure to use a heat sink to protect the glass.
