If you mean the wires going across the glass, the ones that heat up. You can get repair kits at an auto part store.. there real cheap.

If you mean the wires that connect the rear defrosters to the switch.. im not sure where they run through, but you should just patch the 2 together.

Autozone sells a rear window defrost repair kit, it comes with the special adhesive to reattach the power wires to the glass. Also comes with liquid to repair the defroster lines that are on the glass. Works great. :D
