Help with broken rear defrost connection

Noticed that the rear defrost hadn't been working for a bit. I went to check the connections, and when I wiggled this one, it just popped right off the glass.



I figure I can take this to the dealership and have it fixed, (honestly not sure it's under warranty still) but I'm wondering if I can fix it in the time it would take to drive there.

Does anybody know the right technique for this? Should basic conductive glue / paste work for something like this?

Any advice would be appreciated, including "just take it to the dealership ya nimrod"

Cheers

I'm sure your dealer will fix it.

EDIT: Apologies I forget the name of the account to tag when there's a software issue here!
Seems like a weird forum thing going on here; I'm seeing images in other threads, as well as my own images in this thread, but the last two posts, which I'm assuming contain images, look like this:

I just used this last month! Easier than waiting at the dealer to get it done.

Same issue with my old one. Glad I stuck with the soft top, should see who wants my old hardtop though
