The gasket has one hole in each corner - the wires from the trunk come up, through the hole in the gasket, and are soldered to the flat braided wire.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense. I can take a picture of the glass if it will help.

Same setup on the sedan.

Window needs to be pulled to see the connection.

Test the continuity from feed wire to the vertical strip on window glass edge to verify a connection. Same on Pax side for ground.
