[QUOTE="WestCoastDan, post: 455858, member: 23120"] Fixed the rear window defroster connector. I aligned the cap to the original orientation on the window so that it would sit as flat as possible. Then I gripped the part with a set of long nose pliers and heated the shit out of it with a MAPP torch. When it was hot, I added solder, and then reheated it again until it was damn near red hot. Then I pressed it into place and let the extra heat melt the factory solder and blend to the new solder. I held it in place until it cooled down. After it was cold, I pushed the terminal back on and done... I feel really good about this since I didn't remove the rear glass, didn't break it, and it only took about 5 minutes to do. [/QUOTE]
