Heated Rear Window Cable Routing
« on: July 16, 2012, 11:42:17 »
I've managed to obtain a heated rear window for my hardtop but am unsure where the cable runs and how it connects, does anyone know or ideally have any photographs they could post to help me.

Many thanks

David, I tried to buy a car with a heated rear window last year and took the hard top off to inspect further. If I remember correctly the n/s rear trim panel behind the door had a leather/tex flap of some sort near the seat belt with a wire connector of some sort and there was a switch behind the ashtray in the centre console. If it helps the car is now for sale with Howard Wise Motors, he can definately tell you, it's a pale blue car.

Hi David. I have a '71 with factory heated window. I'll be happy to take photos, and send direct to you (I've had no luck posting on the forum) if you let me have your email address. Cheers, Dale.

Dale,

Thanks for that, I've sent you a PM with my email address.

Neil,

I've looked on their web site and can see a flap of some sort, hopefully Dale's pictures will clarify things for me.

David, you mentioned you managed to buy a heated glass pane - may I ask who the supplier was? Did they make it close to original?

Hi Pawel,

I purchased mine second hand from Roger Edwards Motors here in the UK, you can contact them on sl.sl@btconnect.com to see if they have another.
