My daughter has a "96 2dr cpe w/o the rear defroster and was wondering if there's some type of kit available to install.I know I need to ck if there is any pre wiring that leads to back windows if I go that route. I also wander why a car that new would be built w/o one to begin with,but that's another subject!!!
I can buy a used window from Damron's for $75 and have it installed for $65. Didn't think about windowdefroster when she bought it in May living in Fla,but we do get cold and frost here in Winter.Would appreciate 2nd opinions and advise. :o)

Howdy wanacavy,
Thx 4 responding to my call 4 help regarding my daughters car.She was at the house visiting yesterday so I ck'd the back window moldings.Of course there were NO wires to be found as I ck'd both sides just to be sure.I think it's a crock that some smart engineer said,"let's build these puppies with AND w/o rear defrost". Like to see them drive a car w/o it and see how they like it!!!
Guess only thing to do now is get an estimate from my local auto glass dealer and get a price for the wiring the thing. I could always tell my dau to get a blow dryer that plugs into the cigarette lighter and defrost it that way,but don't think so.
