Wow, kinda fuzzy, can't really tell what you got going on there.

The spade is the male part of the connector and should be attached to the glass. The female spade connector is on the wire. If the spade is broken off the glass, you'll need to fabricate something to replace the spade. Soldering to the tab on the glass can be done, but it's a little tricky. The metal tab on the glass and the new male spade connector must both be tinned first. Then lay a soaking wet, (cold water) washcloth or towel on the outside of the glass, then hold the new spade with needle nose and apply enough heat to weld the tab & the male spade connector together. I've done it a few times and haven't had a window break...... yet The key is do the soldering fast so as not to get the glass hot, that's the tricky part.

Make sure you use rosin core solder, not acid core.

Just happen to notice..... the ones in the pic look like acid core Radio Shack has it, (60/40 Lead Tin) about 1/16" diameter so it will heat up and flow quickly. Good luck, leme know how it goes.

So now you need a hatch hinge? I don't think I ever replaced one of those Wow, if it ain't one thing it's another with these trucks. If they weren't so cheap and easy to fix, I'd have gotten rid of it a long time ago.
