Default Broken Rear Defrost on 07' 2 door hard top!

The wire that connects to the rear window just came off. I opened my rear tail gate and raised the window and it broke off. Looks like the solder just split from the glass. Any quick fixes? Need it for the up and coming fall/winter.
Thanks,
J

Before you try applying that much heat to the glass they make a kit here’s a link frostfighter.com it’s like a solder/epoxy that works without heat, I used it on my TJ it was broke when I bought the hard top it was still holding 2 years later when I sold my TJ.
Hope this helps
