A method for providing electrical connection to a heater grid outside of a sealing area of a vehicular rear liftgate window assembly includes providing a glass window panel configured to be pivotally mounted at a vehicle and (i) establishing a heater grid at a central region of an inner surface of the glass window panel, (ii) establishing busbars at the inner surface inboard of a perimeter region and at terminal ends of the electrically conductive traces, and (iii) establishing busbar connecting portions at the inner surface that electrically connect to and extend from the respective busbars across the perimeter region to an outboard region of the inner surface of the glass window panel. The perimeter region includes a sealing region that contacts a seal at the vehicle when the glass window panel is pivotally mounted at the vehicle and when the glass window panel is in the closed position.

A motor vehicle includes a tailgate which has an inner panel, a reinforcing component and an outer panel. The inner component or the outer component is flanged on an end portion, forming a cavity or intermediate space. An adhesive is placed in the intermediate space. An end portion of the non-flanged component is arranged in the intermediate space. An intermediate space is formed between an inner surface of the inner component and an inner surface of the outer component and is filled with adhesive. The end portion of the middle component present in each case is arranged in the intermediate space.
