3)epoxy it, make sure you don't use too much product which could cover the contacts you are attempting to connect.

I agree with eightsandaces for the fix, but he stated its under warranty. I am sure epoxy will work. Sodering would be my first choice, but who knows what the yahoos will screw up. If they only put in a new window in, it might not be as water tight or secure as the factory. I think your best bet is to make sure it works after they fix it. Unless your top is in bad shape I wouldn't press for a new top. It could open a new can of worms with fit and finish. (just my 2 cents).
