I believe they make a repair kit for them atleast for the lines that go across the window might have something for that also

you can very carefully solder them on, use a pencil torch, and dont heat to much in one spot or it could melt the copper or crack the glass.

no problem oh and on the copper wire where you solder it on the glass, use some emery cloth or really fine sand paper and give it a light sanding, there is a coating like a clear coat on it and solder dont like to stick to it all that good lol
