Does anyone have any tips for splicing/replacing these wires? Currently my rear wiper and defroster do not work. Thanks!

Junkyard, E-bay for another harness or section out the broken wires and replace with weather proofed connections.

What do you mean by 'section out?' Weather proof connections sound ideal for this location.

You don't want the splice located where the wires bend, so it actually requires 2 splices per wire ie. 1 on either side of the flexible area.

Gotcha, how do I get access to the wires? Are they under the headliner?
