Second, make sure you still have the electricals to support it. Third, watch eBay - they come up from time to time. Most seem to be from Canada. Pat |

I had the rear defrost on my 74 Zambesi, living on Long Island, driving it every day, snow and sleet. Funny thing with this car is the rear window hardly ever frosts over. But the wires in the window are cool and the switch lights up, too. Go for it! Next you'll be buying heat seaters from Craig!

The hard part is finding a working one. Most of the copper element on the windows is gone. You need to be able to take a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) and put the leads from the clips on each side of the window. If the window is good you will see a solid short otherwise it will show open. Windows are NLA from Porsche.
