Default Rear Window Defroster

The rear window defroster on my Camaro came unconnected on one side. What I mean is that the metal tab that the plastic connector slips onto came off of the window. Does anyone know how to fix this or am I screwed? JB Weld or even solder maybe?

Solder. You will probably need a high wattage solder gun. (Not a soldering pencil, like you'd use with a circuit board.)

Post #4 in this thread has the procedure from the GM factory service manual: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-maintenance-repairs/859592-rear-defroster-detached-window-how-reattach.html
