Getting my rear glass replaced, the hinge has been broke since I owned it and it's time to get it fixed.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

replacing that might be easier and cheaper in the long run. that being said im sure its fix able, but add the time and materials to make it look right might end up costing more.

I ordered the Glen's Auto Performance tru-cool 40K kit. I was hoping to wait a while longer, but I found my transmission cooler lines leaking. Might as well upgrade now!

I have fixed two of them in the past and it's not worth it. You will be chasing cracks once you start moving the dash as you fix it and results might not be to your expectations.

Probably going to have to disassemble the connector shell, de-pin that broken wire, and solder a longer wire to the pin so you have something to work with.

That's what I'm thinking as well ... Just need to figure out how to dismantle the connector

Worst case scenario, if you can't repair that wire. You could always go cut that plug off a donor truck in the junkyard, and just splice every wire in that harness. That's what I did when I had a bad wire in the plug for my power windows.
Hmm I might have to try this.
My driver side door lock button doesn't work and I haven't located where the issue is yet
When you do this, don't try to remove that driver's door module (DDM) without pulling the door panel. There is a screw holding it in place (if someone hasn't broken that part already) and it's accessible only from the back side of the panel. Pull the switch and disassemble it to clean all the switch contacts.
Also inspect the wiring between the door and the body; that's a high flex point and wires tend to break over time in that harness. It's the most used door, after all.

Correct. I've had to repair broken wires inside the rubber door jamb boot. Due to the flexing of the door opening and closing, I had two wires that broke. One was a door lock wire, and one was a speaker wire. But the complete wire wasn't broken, just the conductors. The insulation was still intact. I had to keep probing the wire along the harness to find the break in the conductors. Then I had the issue with my power windows, which I assumed was another broken wire. It was broken all right, but not in the boot. It was right at the plug that actually plugs into the dashboard. I just cut a plug off a donor truck and left about 6-7 inches of wire attached and I took on the meticulous chore of splicing every wire in my harness to that "new" plug. I had to solder and then heat shrink every wire in that harness. Then on two of the wires I had to redo them because I messed up and didn't slip the heat shrink tubing over the wire before I soldered it! But at least it's done, and no more issues with it ever since. That was almost 3 years ago.
