Hi all
Have purchased a gloss black hardtop for my beautiful mgf and would like some advice on what i need to add in the switch et al for the rear heated window. I note that switches and relays are available on ebay. Is this all I need and what do I do with them? Is the wiring already in place somewhere?
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Re: Heated Window Switch
As far as I know the wiring is there on all MGF's/TF's for the hrw. If you look in the NSR corner of the hood area you should see the two wires that you will need to connect the hrw to. Inside and behind the switch panel you will find the other end of the loom which you will need to connect to the relay and the switch will just pop in to the panel, push out one of the blanks and fit your new switch. I'm not sure of the colour wires you will need to find, maybe somebody else will know that.
