Default Rear defrost connector

My rear defrost connector just popped off. How can I repair this. A friend suggested just resodering it.

I did the same thing to my top recently. From my understanding, the repair kits are not very good and most likely won't work. Replacement of the window is the best option and insurance will cover it

I don't know how the Jeep is setup (Reading forums to see if I want to buy one) but I've used a soldering iron and just soldered these back on in the past. Just make sure you tin the connector then just press it on and heat it up.
