Convertible rear defogger 70 and 71-72
$

Thanks

 

Which one do you have? The '70 had a different blower fan tube to direct the air to the diffuser than the 71-72. A 71-72 model can be used on the 70, but not the other way around, if I remember. Do you have all the pieces including the wiring?

 

This is interesting in that I never knew there was a rear window defroster for a convertible. What does it look like and where/how does it mount? I have '68 and '69 convertibles and I don't think there was a rear window defroster option for those convertible years. Was it first offered in the 1970 model year?

Hi Bob,
Yes, I know there is a difference.. I have both. I believe everything but the switch.
Thanks

I'd like to learn about this as well.

I have one in my 71 convertible. I took a picture through the back window, sorry it is not a better picture.
The other picture shows a 70 defogger and a 71-72 defogger.

Thanks for the pics, I never knew this was an option for convertible cars. Does the defroster motor mount behind the back seat, next to the power top pump motor? Is it just a fan or does it have a heating element as well?

Rodney,
No heat, it uses the air from the cabin of the car. No, It fits between the rear seat divider.

That is interesting. Never knew such an option existed for convertibles.

Here are several pictures of the 70 unit.

L I B !! I learned something new today.

 

Me too! Interesting....GLWS!

 

That looks even less effective than the hardtop car ones, and those were pretty bad.

 

Very cool part. GLWS.

 

Sale pending payment on 71-72 defogger.

Thanks

 

I have one in my 1971 W30 convert that was dealer installed. I have one to go in another 71 442 that I am currently restoring.
