Rear defroster contacts after door replacement

Tags: #glass · #unresolved · #low-confidence

After a rear door was replaced following an accident, the rear-window defroster heater contacts detached/fell off approximately one month later. The owner reported that no local repair shops were willing to solder the contacts back on. No consensus solution was found in the community discussion; the only suggestion offered was to find a computer-repair specialist with a fine-tip mini soldering iron, since automotive shops weren't equipped/willing to attempt the repair ¹²³.
