So, I love the hard top, more headroom, lots more rear visibility, quieter, car seems to sawm up inside faster and stay warm easier, and the radio is a lot easier to hear.
However, the onlt way to clear the condensation off the rear window is with the dash vents set to hot/high and aimed at the rear window. Luckily, it clears off fast, but not fast enough for me to see anything behind me for the first five-ten minutes of driving.
The hardtop is oem, has a rear window defogger built in, it's plugged in, and the light on the dash comes on when I hit the defog button, and turns off when I press it a second time. However, the defogger.... doesn't.
So, I'm going to check for 12v at the car side of the connecter when the switch is on; and if I don't get it, follow that up ... at the fusebox, first, I guess. If I have 12v with the switch on, I'll check the resistance on the window side of the connector, and I'm looking for a connection (not open) but with pretty high resistance, right? It's the sesistance that heats the grid and should clear the window, iirc. Anyown know what the correct resistance is? And if it's open, I need to look for breaks/cuts in the grid, right? Anyone ever fixed one of those with that "metallic paint" or what would you suggest?
Thanks!
