I'm looking for some help. My rear defroster in my camaro is not working because the drivers side tab has fallen off the window in the rear. Can anyone recomended a product or a way to fix this.??? I believe a conductive epoxy or adhesive is needed? Thanks for the help Bryan

press it against the window then take the superglue pens.(they have a very small applicator at the end) and run a bead around the tab. WORKED FOR ME

I bought this repair kit that I used on my other car. Worked great.

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: Rear defroster detached from Window, how to reattach?

An auto glass shop should also be able to do this for you cheap.

I wouldn't think too much. When you go, please let us know how much it runs you. (I'm curious.)
