So I’m planning on a new roof in April, it’s due! - my 19year old plastic window roof is starting to tear in places where it cannot be fixed. So taking the plunge, new roof and change to a glass rear window. My question is how easy or difficult is it to get the new rear window connected up so it demists when it needs to. I take it that my 2001 doesn’t have the wiring to make it work. Anyone done this or knows someone who can. I have done a forum search but had nothing come back in the searches.Cheers Rich

you need a switch and a relay, the oem honda switch is expensive and rare so i have never bothered

you can buy the parts from Honda, if available, but they are pricey

hardtopguy sells some parts, whether he still ships to uk i dunno

I got the harness kit from Hardtopguy years ago..https://hardtopguy.com/store/366.html

Thanks for that ! Good find just need to check my VIn against the item. It’s an option! If I’m going all out on a new hood may as well try and get everything including the demister
Cheers Rich

cant tell your MY but only later cars had the glass and so only later kits will include the wire for that potentially? just HT wires would need a mod

Hi it’s a jan 2001 no hardtop. So thinking the wiring from HT guys would work?

Nottm_S2

check your HT connector, you might need to send him a pic.

i imagine the kits for early cars (by vin) are HT only so unless the connector is the same for your glass softop screen it wont have a connection for that?

i think it was 2004 before the solid rear screen came in, the later switch wont fit an early centre console will it?

Thanks , I’ve messaged them but had no response yet. On their website it says it’s for VInS post a certain number, I’ll check mine out and see if it complies. If not then so be it cheers again

Hi,

My s2000 is a march '01 and I've recently rewired the whole of this circuit. If you are fairly hands on its not particularly difficult.

All you need is a roll of wire, a relay, a fuse holder (you can use terminals if you wish but a fuse holder is nicer), a switch and a number of terminals.

I can post a more in depth response if you need.

Thanks MG - me and electrics have a poor track record! So please only post for the wider community not just for me but thanks for the offer
