Without popping out to the garage to look - IIRC correctly it should plug into a track printed on the hatch glass, next to the demister, which conveys the voltage up to the third brake light. The wire has broken off it's connector, which I'm betting is still connected to the glass.
The demister connection is via the struts. There should be a cable plugged into both ends of each strut IIRC.
