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 .

How does that switch look like ?

And if I buy a hardtop can I get get the switch and the plug connected or is it mega-expensive !?
