[QUOTE="Nic_dEntremont, post: 453444, member: 24390"] I had a rear window defrost contact break off, I soldered it back on with one of those pistol style soldering irons and some sort of unidentified electrical solder. Then the next year the other one broke off and there is nothing I can do to get solder to stick like it did the first time. I even tried a blow torch, borrowing the same solder as last time and preheating the whole rear window with a hair dryer. My next solution was to use a neodymium magnet to stick it to the window with a magnet on the other side but it turns out that heat from soldering demagnetizes neodymium... [/QUOTE]
