defrost window swap

[hot4dl8ly]

In my experience, the lower line models need the wiring swapped also. The piece that is missing goes from behind the L taillight, up the C-pillar and down into the hatch, there is also a ground and + wire from the harness to the glass. I had to do this to my 92L, and will be doing it to the 93L. Using a piece of mechanics wire helps to fish it through.

Have been working so have not done it yet as well with all the snow we just got. So been a little slow, but going to pull the defrost tonight or tomorrow morning. Will let you guys know soon.

It will work better to have that inside where its warm - least thats my experience with installing truck glass - a cold cab makes for a bad windsheild install

Hey RJ,
We are talking about standard rear glass, not a spoiler. Between the ppl on here at this time, we probably have 25 between us. I don't believe in destroying stuff for the sake of destroying stuff, you know me better than that. Previous posts even said they break most of the time. Like Kemp said, it's the easiest and fastest way to do it. That's all I was saying. Pick and choose your battles, and if it was my battle, a hammer wins. And if you need hatch glass, pm me and I'll get you one of the several I have!

wow 25 nice stash i guess one could be spared , you dont happen to have a sunroof do you ?

Ok got the defrost one out wasn't as hard as sounded. I tried to work from inside out, but didn't work. So I used a screw driver and pryed it up and stuck thick washers under it and went across the top doing the same and was able to just pull on it and just came out with no problems. Will try to post pics as soon as I can get our computer back. Using a iPod touch right now so can't post pics.

Yeah they look good - did you heat shrink the tint? or was the surface ok with out it - I've had to shrink the last two I installed

Your doing the same thing I had planed on doing - tinting while its out - you'll want to watch the corners when you go back in - you can take a razor and trim on the curve to help stop the corners from rolling up when you put it back in the seal

Thank you
