Anybody ever replace the soldered on connection for the rear window defroster?

Don't use the cold solder thing. It's a great little soldering iron, but you'll need some more juice than that. I've got a 100w gun you could borrow. I attempted this on one of my cars before, and it didn't go so well. I HIGHLY recommend pulling the hatch off so you can do this right-side-up. Otherwise, the solder drips, and the connection falls apart before the solder cools.
