Abstract

A vehicle, preferably "hatchback", rear window defroster electrical connector using an adhesively secured threaded post to receive thereon a circular electrical element which is pressed into an electrical connection by a nut against the defroster conductive deposit on the rear window, thereby avoiding the use of solder which deteriorates upon exposure to weather elements occasioned by the frequent opening of the hatchback rear window door or panel.
