Rear window defroster
Anyone ever add one of these to their coupe? I'm about to install one in my '70 and was wondering if there are any "hidden tigers" anywhere in the installation process. The assembly manual does a pretty good job showing the installation, so following it will be my plan of attack. Comments?

Re: Rear window defroster (ettev)
Shouldn't have much of a problem. I had a problem with my relay. I was rummaging around in the storage compartment and bumped it. Inside there is a braided wire that I believe is attached for heat dissapation. Well the relay disloged from the box and the braided wire touched the box and blew a fuse (in place instead of circuit breaker). I actually thought the wire was supposed to be grounded and I soldered it as so afterwards. Then when I tried to install a circuit breaker, sparks flew. Then I realized the braided wire is NOT to touch other metal. Made it so, installed fuse (can tell when they blow) and is back in action. I think I will put the correct circuit breaker in place when I get one instead of fuse.
What a chase though to figure that one out. :crazy:
