aight, so i just bought my car and i noticed that the rear defroster terminal is broken off the window, and obviously this makes the defroster not work at all. I went to a toyota dealership and they told me that i would have to replace the window all together because there was no way the terminal could be reattached. $640. What kind of bulls hit is that? is there no way to resodder the damned thing back on? They said that it would break back off in a week.

of course the window place told you it cant be fixed
solder it, and if you are worried about it breaking again, put some JB weld over it. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

solder it. If it breaks next week...........solder it again next week. When summer pulls around you won't need it.

I got a spare, limo tinted and defroster working in my shop. I can send you a pic if you are interested. I had to replace my convertible frame top, because it was cracked when i bought the car. I bought a complete top off ebay and threw the old one away, but I cut out the back window. They are glued in to the fabric. Make me a offer, and its yours.
