The connection for the rear window defogger is on the underside of the passenger side locking lever. Just rotate the locking levers rearward and apply slight upward force to the top.

The picture Doug posted is good. It is the hardtop side. On 2002 on the car side it is a black plastic doughnut that is cliped into place and the post goes through it. It has matching contacts for the hardtop side. Many times the car side part, or the sister part on the other side gets broken from putting the hardtop back on.

Forgot to add if either or both parts on the car are missing, the top will rattle, not fit properly.
