Didn't know these existed on the 914.

Just noticed it when unloading it off the trailer.
Attached Image
It does have a separate button for it on the dash, green background with a heating element logo on it, pulls and pushes.

Anybody familiar with these rear windo defrosters?

Thank you

Yup, optional equipment. 2 out of 4 of my 914's came with the heated rear window.

My '70 1.7 has the rear window heater...never had a situation for it to be useful, even during two years in Green River, WY.

So it could be said this option probably has little or no value if building a car?

If it's a summer car only, yes totally useless.

You've already got the factory option info. above - but as a heads-up, you find a ton of this type of info on p914.com ....

- & at Jeff Bowlsby's websites (see links on there to his other 3):

Enjoy exploring them all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
