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.

yea thats what i was going to do
i already soldered the wire (not fancy but it should work)
hopefully i can tack it so i can get it on there good enough

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

alrighty ill get some tomorrow i guess
hopefully i succeed putting it on
thanks for you help

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.

yea will do and yea it would melt way faster then the ones i have
those rolls are standards

well i tryed to solder it on the truck didnt work out so great
so i decided to remove the glass and solder it inside
turns out i broke one of the hinges since i was alone but the wire is soldered
thanks for the ideas i really appreciate it
any ways time to find a place to order the hinge

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.
