Rear glass defrost electrical cord wire thingy?

[Geep]

How do you disconnect the electrical wiring from the rear glass? It looks like there may be 2 side tabs and one on the bottom.

They just unplug.

You don't have to pull any tabs back or anything? I just don't want to break it.

****** mine,the tabs on the window came with it.Sure there is a latch sys.

:icon_idea:
Use Needle nose pliers to hold the metal tab back (so you dont rip it off glass)
and then pull the plastic electrical tab off while holding the metal tab...

It is nothing more than a simple spade connector, however, be very careful when pulling it off. It will pull the tab off the window really easily. I had a tab come off my 05 a year ago just by opening the window when it was really cold outside. Luckily I was able to solder it back on there, but it was seriously one of the hardest solder jobs I've ever done (being it is above your head).

Like I said...
They just unplug!
No need for pliers.
And no need to be Gonad the Librarian.
Just a firm grip and a gentle tug and the connector comes off.

You don't have to look up the definition of gonad at the library? yay!

The plan here is to rhino line a horizontal strip just above the glass and between the roof rails.

mine have little tabs to push down on and then I pull the plug off.
The window spade connector came off once so I just re-soldered it back onto the glass

Not quite sure what you mean here Geep.
Post a photo of this "Strip" you speak of
when you're done please.

I hope it doesn't affect the seal

 

[Geep]

The seal is already effected. I've got rust above the rear glass, under the right side hinge and around the right side of the rear brake light. I've already started the body work on it.

So the bottom, horizontal edge of the bed coating will cover the channel above and behind the rear glass then the top, horizontal line of the bed coating will run horizontally just above the rear brake light and will run from roof rail trim to roof rail trim.
