Good morning again to you all…

I took a couple photos to help illustrate my concern and they will be included, but here goes…

I am pretty sure my read window defrost elements are not functioning. If I press the button, I get no light to illuminate. When I loom at the rear hatch glass, I see something obviously awry. One of the connectors is still affixed to the electrical bus running alongside the drivers side of the glass, but the other side is disconnected and also seems to be quite out of place compared to the drivers side. See the photos for clarity.

Is this something you have experienced and have a solution for repair at home? Is this an auto glass shop kind of repair? Any suggestions guys?

Thank you again for your time and input. Have a splendid Friday!
