Default Rear Defroster

So I noticed a noise coming from the sliding glass in the rear and found that the little black box on there for the rear defroster had fallen off, I brought it to the dealer and they told me there is no way to fix it and they have to replace the entire back window...any one else have this happen?

Default Me Too

2013 SCrew, My defroster in the rear slider quit working. No visible signs of damage. Dealer replaced the window under warranty. Also airbag light intermittently flickering on. Dealer replaced defective driver side door sensor under warranty too.
Lease up on the SCrew - New 2016 Scab on order 3.5 Eco 4x2, max tow package

I understand this is a pretty common problem on Jeep Wranglers (I stumbled onto a thread about it in a Jeep forum while searching for something else). I don't remember exactly what the guys on the forum were saying, but I think they said you could buy electrically conductive epoxy to re-attach it. I think Mopar even makes a kit. A good auto glass repair shop might be able to help as well. Good luck.

Take a look at this http://www.etrailer.com/Tools/Loctite/LT21351.html

Brought mine to the dealer today for sliding window not defrosting.
And they also taking my doors apart to fix lock freezing issue.
And looking at moonroof again.
Once these are done I will have a perfect truck, almost.
It runs well and no other issues
