Default Rear Defroster connector broke!

I was taking a hood down the street to my house and after I took a turn, the hood slipped and hit the rear defrost clip and knocked it off of the glass. It took a small chunk of glass out with it.

Can this be fixed? If so where should I go?

The defroster can be easily. But the glass will need to be replaced to be fixed. It might stay together fine with the defroster bracket glued to it though.

Im not concerned with the small chunk, just want to get the clip back on the glass and get the defroster working again.

You will need to get someone to resolder it back on. You can do it with a butane torch and some playdough (quick easy method but dangerous) if you are careful but might want to get a shop to fix it. Car stereo shops can often fix that, I used to.
