Hardtop Glass w/ Rear Window Defroster
« on: October 13, 2009, 13:45:08 »
My car has this option and I need a replacement rear glass.  I have not been able to find a source online.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
B.

There is a used one for sale that could be a heated one: Item 110442509026.
However, I would verify with the seller that the heating function still works - especially for that price!

The usual applies - I have no relation to the seller.

These are NLA and very hard to find. You would think that one of the manufacturers of the non-heated version would try and reproduce the heated version... but not so far.

Last year, I bought a used heated rear glass from a fellow member, but the ever-clumsy UPS delivery destroyed it! Getting the insurance claim processed was a bit of a nightmare and took most of 9 months before we received the money.

This may not help but here's an entire top with the heated glass....for......$2500.... http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/pts/1418502564.html

Perhaps you can use the glass and sell the top without or put a standard piece in.
