What is this plug for ? / Hardtop question.
Hi,
I saw this plug behind the drivers seat ?
What is this ?
My guess is plug for the hardtop rear-window defrost, but thats just a guess ?
How do I check if my car has been prepared for hardtop ? I want one ...

It is standard on a US Boxster because the electric/heated mirrors are standard in the US. On ROW cars without the electric/heated mirrors that plug does not work because a switch on the dash is missing.

good eye, but believe it or not, thats how it looks like in the original pic as well.
i think it looks like that is couse i took it at a low angle and it was a really hot day, so u get those heat waves on top of the horizon, where the car is, so that may have something to do with it, i dunno .

I have that button already - would that mean my car is ready to power the back window of the hard-top ?

Since you have the switch the plug will work.
Here is a ROW car without the switch.

Hmmm... how can I see if my car is prepared for a hardtop ? Do I need special parts installed in the car to be able to lock on the hardtop to my car ?
I have only owned the car for a few months so I dont know if it at one time had a Hardtop
