Heated rear window wiring.... where is it?

[Lloyd Six]

I have upgraded my plastic window to a BAS glass window convertion. The roof is now all fitted and works (folds) perfectly.

The only thing left to do is wire up the heated rear screen, it came with about 18" loom coming down from the glass with a 2 pin plug conector.

My question is, is there a plug connector hidden away somewhere for me to simply connect to?

It does puzzle me as to why there is a heated rear switch that even illuminates when pressed on a car

without heated rear screen tho?

The indicator on the switch lights up because of the heated mirrors.

For your heated glass there is a connector near the seat belt/roll bar on the drivers. There is a little black plastic flap that covers the connector.

I'll tell if you do.

There is a plug socket under a little hatch on the top of the "b" pillar right behind your left shoulder (U.S.), Couldn’t figure what it was there for at first but...

Your Turn, where did you get a glass replacement? Did you keep your original canvas? D.I.Y job (I’m real handy)? How much?

Thanks P.K

Lloyd:

The reason there is a heated rear switch (in early cars with plastic windows) that even illuminates is because the switch (and the associated harness and plug that is shown in the photograph by Tool Pants) was provided for the factory Hard Top that could be fitted on the car.

Peter:

I'm very gratified that we were able to figure it out and get it to work, and especially that you stuck with it so that you could still enjoy it for a few more weeks (before the cold weather).

Hi P.K

I sussed out the wiring minutes after putting up the post, id also found a photo of the car when it was

on the forecourt brand new (the original buyer had took before he picked it up) the photo pictured

the car with a hardtop!

I purchased the hood convertion from BAS in UK - http://www.car-hood.co.uk/

I rate the fitting of this pretty easy for anyone who is a bit of a `have a go` type of person. Dont worry about

the stories you hear of the glass breaking, it works perfect if fitted properly.

Here are some pictures:
