It is extremely rare that I look for a video to fix a problem I'm having and the very first video I watch answers my question perfectly. This video is THAT video. Thank you!!!!
@Off The Beaten Track - Canada You're more than welcome!!! I followed your directions step by step last night, and all seems to be holding up properly! It was super simple to do and saved me time and frustration of having to bring my Jeep into a local dealer. Thanks again!!! :)
Hey Brian, thanks and glad you found the video useful. The light was part of a kit specifically for the JK rear window. It taps into the rear interior light via the cable at the rear of the Roll/sport frame. Sorry I don’t remember the name of the kit but a Google search should get you there
I had to do both sides. The day after I fixed them with Permatex, I had continuity between both connections. For some reason, the right side no longer does. I'm going to solder it this time. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the great video. Had the same problem as well and this was easier than the soldering project I was originally going to do. The tab is back on and only time will tell if it holds and works. Question…did you install that rear window light yourself? Was it kit?
This happened to mine. I did the fix and checked for conductivity. But it still won’t work. Checked the fuse and it seems to be working. Check the connector and it’s fine. Rear wiper and fluid are both working. Anyone got any ideas?
Hey Bill, I couldn’t find just the glue when I was just looking, you may have better luck. I bought the full kit and at $20 for the kit I thought what the heck. The sand paper that’s included is a fine sand paper, it’s to remove any old solder/adhesive from the copper. Be careful not to rub through the copper strip with aggressive paper or scraping tools. I did carefully use the head of a screwdriver to remove a small chunk of solder. Search Amazon for Permatex Rear Fogger Repair Kit
Thanks a lot for the vid and the kit recommendation! I've had that stupid tab fall off THREE TIMES now on my 2020 wrangler... 2 times it was repaired under warranty, in which they initially glued it to the glass and it fell off the next day, so they had to replace the entire back window at the end... Now it just fell off again, and I am over my warranty mileage, super frustrated with how defected that piece is. I will try to fix it myself this time and hopefully it'll last for good :) @@OTBT_Canada

Thanks for taking the time to put this all together! I really appreciate it! I'm going to follow these steps to fix this problem on my Jeep this week!
Thanks Nick, good luck! Be sure to hold/clamp the little contact point onto the window until it’s sets well and leave it overnight to bond properly.

Thanks! bought the kit, followed the video and now just waiting for the 24hr setup of the tab before re-attaching the wire.
did it last ?

thanks for this! perfect video showing every step of the way.
Great video. I couldn’t pop the circular tab out as it seemed all connected to the cable. I’m going to try to glue with cable attached.
Cool bit if kit!
Thanks buddy
My wife’s Grand Cherokee has this same problem. I’m taking it to an auto glass shop.
Thanks. Strange that your tab won’t pop out, mine was just held in the housing/case by little metal prongs. Held in by friction.

been a while, did it last ?

If I just want the glue, can you please tell me what to buy? Also what grit of sand paper. Thanks!

Thx sir! Saved me hundreds.
Did it last in the long run?
Yes, it has remained in place and seems ok 👍🏼
