Subject: Hard Top Rear Defroster for 1990 Miata
   Date: (none)

Has anybody tried to convert the hardtop rear window in a 1990 or 1991 
to have a defroster.  I would imagine  that one could attach some
after market heating strips or even the heating strips or rear window
from the 1992 hardtop which has a rear window defroster.  After that,
the car would have to be wired like the 1992 Miata to connect the 
heating element to a plug which is in rear on the drivers side which
is controlled by a timed switch on the dash.  Alternatively, I guess
that it is possible to directly connect it to the battery and have an
on/off switch in the rear where the wires come up from the battery. 
Any suggestions or ideas would be most helpful since the hardtop
window really fogs up in the winter unless you continuously run the
air conditioner or let the in outside air which in the New York City
traffic is really polluted.
