Rear Defroster - Middle Window Not Working?

[SCLaunch]

Hard top with rear window defroster grids. Left and right rear windows defrost no problem, but the sliding middle section does not appear to be working/heating. Anything I can look for...where does that fix even start?

The sliding glass is fed power by a couple of wires that come up from the bottom on the left side. There's a cover on the lower left corner of the window over the connection point. The cover should snap off, giving you access to the connections.

Yep...that's the issue. The top connection point has worked itself off :-( I think there is some adhesive meant specifically for that problem. Not a huge deal, but annoying!

There are several options for adhesive.
I've even resoldered window defroster connections: I used a pinpoint torch, and it worked well.
Good luck!
