Problem with rear window defroster

[MensaCat]

Hello, guys...

Sorry if you've heard this question before, but I'm brand-spankin'-new here...

I've got a '93 T-Bird LX. One of the contacts has come off the rear window, and now my rear window defroster won't work. I've gone to different Ford dealerships, and they just look at me as if I've got another head growing out of my shoulder. Most mechanics just tell me, "I dunno"...one guy mentioned that I'd have to buy a new rear window!! Surely, this is not the case!! Buy a new window for a broken contact? Isn't there a way to fasten that back on?

Thanks, guys....and, GREAT to see so many T-Brid enthusiasts. My Bird is my baby :-)

Michelle,

Every Mensa-ite should know how easy it is to find anything by typing keywords into Google. <grin> But then you wouldn't need us and we do enjoy the company.

Hey there, QuickDraw!

Much thanks for the three links...I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for there. I just hope something fixes this blasted window, I sure don't want to buy a new one :(

Ya know, I actually never even thought to google it...perhaps it's time to turn in my membership card ;)
