I need rear glass from 07-10 jk hard top with working defogger. The tab broke off defogger on my glass tried repairing it didnt work.

 

Same thing happened to mine. Only fix is a new window. My insurance covered mine.

 

Oh man you have to follow up on how the insurance company just smiled and replaced a part that broke off....

Sell the damaged glass.. disclose its issue... I'm sure plenty of folks would still be interested. From there, you have part of the cash for a new one. Price the rear glass with different shops. When I bought one they range from $280-$500 in my area. I bought one for $280ish delivered and installed. (I think that's what I paid. .. maybe a little less.. it's been a couple years)

 

WOW that's a big price spread. Good reason to shop around. I've also seen that with a lot of things in life. And you have a good tip there on keeping the old glass and flogging it off. I haven't used my rear defog since '07 and drive through winters.
On second thought OP may not need it either and save a lot of coin.

 

I have full glass coverage. I explained to them that the defroster tab came off and they replaced the entire glass. There is really no other fix. My insurance company did not give me a hard time at all. They even replaced the same window again after about 3 months, because the glass shattered due to it being -18 below zero and I turned on the defroster.

 

Man that's good coverage. Is the Full glass coverage an optional rider to the policy? If so how much $/year?

 

I believe glass coverage Is part of "collision"

 

Normally only front windshield is covered under 'comprehensive' section. Collision coverage is actually an optional rider that pays when you drive intentionally or not into a ditch or house etc.

PLPD or public liability&public disability is what you or the other guy's insurance covers in the event of a collision (there are no accidents-everything has a cause except for natural events...).
Side and rear windows usually have to be blamed on theft or vandalism. Your insurance may be different.
