What exactly is the OP attempting to do? I mean, it seems fairly straightforward to me that using the front AC controls is pointless if the goal is to defrost the rear (and vice versa). Maybe I'm just not understanding what the goal is here...

 

i believe the OPs question is..

what happens if i turn on the REAR defrost when the top is down? will the heat generated by the rear defrost in the window have a negative effect on the soft top?

the answer is no. the heat generated in the window is far less than the heat, say, on a sunny day.

 

Youll set your top on fire.

True story.

"Do not push defogger button when the convertible top is folded."

Dood seriously... How did you find this thread? Were you just like browsing 100 pages into the forum and saw my thread and then got confused about my question. Now your confusing me. Please don't bump old ass threads lolololo
I got my answer: There is a front and back defrost option.
