  View original topic: Rear Window Defroster - Convertible

When I owned my '71 Super, I liked having a rear window defroster that worked.

How common are late model convertibles (say 1975-79) with non-functioning defrosters? Can the glass with grid be ordered alone if the top is otherwise good? If an entire top needs to be replaced, can they be ordered with a functioning grid?

It isn't easy to find but a new glass with grid can be ordered. A non functional RWD is more the norm than the exception at least here in the Midwest.

The little base connectors for my grid aren't glued on, where can I find glue thats conductive for glueing the plugs?

I was afraid of that. Seems like when I ask a seller if his works, the answer I get is, "I don't know. I never need mine." -- which to me is code for, "No, it does not work."

That's good to know if it come to that. Thanks.
