The wire connector on mine broke and it is impossible to find a new one. Ford stopped making the connector wire. I gave up looking for one. I have no defogger with top onHello All,
I have a question.
I installed the Hardtop on my 02.
I see a button for a rear window defroster.
But do not see a wire connection.
Am missing the connection?
Or do the guide/alignment pins actvas the electrical connection?
Please advise
Thank you
Dennis, I have the same situation, the connector looks like it should be circular and one-piece, but I have two pieces hanging by wire from the hardtop. I don't understand how or where it would connect anyway. The manual instructions on installing/removing the hardtop don't mention connecting anything??????? Would love to have it working if someone has ideas. 3d printer?The wire connector on mine broke and it is impossible to find a new one. Ford stopped making the connector wire.

On mine, the roof "plate" is actually a circular, wired, washer-like thing. However, mine is in two partial pieces. Wonder If it is obtainable?On the passenger side fitting that the roof pin goes into is a plate the matches up with another plate that is around the roof pin, that plate should have a wire on it that is from the defroster switch. The roof pin has the same plate that is wired to the window defroster. When the roof is in place those 2 plates go together and when you engage the lock for the roof it completes the circuit by grounding the defroster. If either one of those plates are missing or have fallen away so they don't touch the defroster won't work. Look down in the body of the car where the convertible roof retracts into to see if it might have fallen off and is laying down in the well. You might have to resolder the wire on it. Good Luck Rick
