Anyone used this:

I broke the connector and resoldered it. It worked fine, but then I was adjusting the side window gasket and bumped the connector. I don't think soldering will work again.

Wow, that is a pretty damn specialized product.    No, I haven't used it.  But when I read the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about repairing the grid lines on the window.  I tried my car's rear defogger for the first time last weekend - it was very humid and as soon as I pulled my Mini out of the garage at 6am all the windows immediately fogged over.  It turns out there is a grand total of 1 gridline that works on my back window.  So there's a lot of room for improvement!

I need to fix mine also, I broke it while installing the back window into the car

Permatex makes a kit to repair the grid lines as well.
It should be in the link as a related product.

The gridlines on mine worked great when I bought the car 20 years ago, now they're pretty much crusted away to nothing.

I've considered installing one of these stick-on de-icers.
