Rear Defrost issue

Hola... Got any recomendations on where I can get some new glass for this... My ride is a CA model and it is wired for rear defrost but has CA glass in it... Not a good thing to be without here in our fair rainy city Maybe check out the shop I am going to have it tinted at? Expensive process?

Down here in Tacoma there are several junkyards that have thirdgens with the rear glass intact. I'm sure at least one or two of them probably have defrost. Don't know of any junkyards in King Co.

not that you care too much over here, but i've seen at least 20 rear hatches over here in Kitsap for the defrost option and all intact.

If you are getting it tinted and are not worried about looking absoultley stock, get a JC Whitney mag. They sell a kit fairly cheep. I think under $50 bucks. You could most likley use your stock wiring and just use their grid. Call 1-800-529-4486 for their mag.

Hey if your tint's black enough, you can't see out anyway, so why have a defroster?

I don't think I understood your question.
You don't have a defroster piece of glass, but you want one. And your car is already equipt with the defroster mechanism.
