Electric Rear Glass wanted
« on: May 06, 2020, 16:45:23 »
I know my request to find an electric rear window is a long shot at best, but I still have to ask....
My daughter smashed mine today with her bike....I am not a happy camper to say the least....

Yes! Thank you! For me: definitely to look into and consider! These were very popular in Poland in the 80ies and 90ies - some of the locally produced cars did not have heated windows in their cheaper versions.

I have been looking for these recently, but found none. This may be an option. Not that I need the defroster in a Pagoda, but the option was there and the wiring is there, so it might be worth looking at if it is not too visible.
