ok so winter is hitting hard and i seriously need to get my rear defroster working agian but aparently the previouse owner riped off the driver side contact strip that atachest to the window and the strut and the other side is sagging and no longer fully atached can someone help me repair this

I you look around on the internet you will find quite a few products to repair rear defrosters. I used the Loctite one on my suburban. There are two types, one for the grid and the other is for the tab. I'm thinking you will need both.

the problem is the driver side tab strip that runs the length of the window is gone there is some residue but its gone and i think i need it i circled it in a picture

Your best bet might be to find a new hatch.

yea i might go with a hatch that doesnt have a high mount brake light
