Has anyone else had trouble with the wires coming loose from the window?
It's happened to me at least 10 times
Checked at the dealer who said the only way to repair it was to replace the window for $ 350
Wasn't interested in that so spent a while looking at it and showed it to a friend who siad he had just the thing
A really small soldering iron and reconnected it to the window
Have had to do it a few more times
Really a lousy job of attaching it

Add some solder to the tab before re attaching. Mine usually hold up until a stroller wheel knock it off again. I use a torch lighter. Gets hot faster.

Had both of mine pop off and used this repair kit.

Takes a 15/20 minutes for it to cure, so set it in place with painter's tape.
Going on a year now without issue.
