[QUOTE="steveeoaktree, post: 1316012, member: 20344"] One of the many little things wrong with my 'ol Blue 98 was the rear defroster clip/wire hanging instead of being attached to the window. Here's how I did it. If anyone has previously used that glue stuff, remove it, but be careful not to damage or score the lines or attach points. If it's just the solder there, clean it with a pencil eraser as best as you can. Heat the clip with the soldering iron, (be careful of course!) and dab the solder on the opposite end and it'll run to the heat. When it's coated across the clip, let her cool. I used a multi-screwdriver with no bit inside it to hold the clip onto the window, and heat it with the soldering iron until you feel it level or slightly flatten the solder. Let her cool and reattach the connector. This has always worked well for me, but I am surely not an expert of any degree. Hope it helps someone! [/QUOTE]
