Glass window top for '97 to '02 Boxsters

I think that's because of the hardtop. (have defrosters)

All US cars have heated and electric mirrors because that is standard in the US. For this reason all cars have the plug next to the rollbar for the defroster that prior to 2003 was used only for the hard top. You still have a working plug even if the car did not come with a hard top, and of course the dash button is there on all US cars.

The early ROW cars are different. Heated and electric mirrors were an option. If you did not have the option then you had a manual adjustment for the mirrors and no button on the dash for the heater. However those cars are wired for the defroster, but you need to add a relay and the dash button.

I received my top today. I still haven't had a chance to open the box. I'm anxious to see the gray material (the box is marked "Graffiti Gray") and the glass window. On the other hand, I don't want to risk compromising the integrity of the packaging and possibly break the glass when I transport the top to the installation shop. Tomorrow I will pay a visit to the top guy to see when he can work me in. Hopefully he can do the job early next week. Can you tell I'm excited?!?!

Thanks to all for the clarification on the rear-window defroster.

I will keep you informed.
