Rear Window Defroster Problem?

Folks, I have a 2005 GT Convertible and the wire clasp for the driver-side, rear window defroster came loose from the glass. Is this a common problem on the convertible? There have been 3-4 attempts to re-afix the metal clasp to the window glue-wise but they only held in a temp fashion. Is there by chance a TSB for this problem? Is there a successful method to re-attach the clasp used by anmyone on the forum? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks, will try it, thought there might be a TSB on it. Seems the pressure from putting top up and down might be pulling the clasp off the window.

It happened on my 2006 - first time the dealer fixed it the thing lasted a couple of months. I bought a kit from frostfighter.com and repaired it myself and it was still on there good and tight after another 100,000 miles.
