Isn't there some kind of timer relay inline on these? Maybe that's the problem?

By the way, I've got an electric window from a '75 Cutlass Salon if anyone is interested.

So what about wagon front windows? Does it have a 2 door/ElCo style or the 4 door style?

Windshield or door glass? Doors would be saloon doors. If El Camino windshields are different than sedans than I've learned something new today.

The light on the switch is green not orange.

Front windshield. I have a 4 door I'm parting out so I need to know whether to save that windshield or one from a 2 door as a spare for my wagon. I'm already saving all the door glass.

That's a good question then, hopefully someone can answer. I've had cars in the past that when I tried using a saloon windshield didn't go too well. A 71' Nova and a 73' Coupe de Ville.

Hollander Interchange doesn't break out a separate windshield for wagons. However, they do make reference to wagons for other glass...so, I'd say it's safe to assume you'd need a 4-dr style windshield.

my rear window defogger goes into one of the two speaker holes in the rear so there is only one speaker back there is this how the one in the pics goes in also?

by 1973montec Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:53 pm

Montes went in the center of the back window tray

The defrost goes in the center of the pkg tray- my car only came w/ 1 rear speaker but there s/b a provision for a second.

Yep...all cars had the center cutout for a blower style rear defrost.

My car was built in Canada and it's the same. Very Happy

by geoff528 Wed Jan 30, 2013 5:57 pm

mine blows out of the speaker hole on the drivers side and theres no pipe or anything in the center where the hole is in that pic ^ but the wiring and all tht looks factory too

by Mcarlo77 Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:11 pm

Strange, indeed! Every car I've ever seen has the factory cut-out in the center for the blower A$$'y; regardless of whether or not it came with defrost.

by 77mali Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:12 pm

by geoff528 Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:59 pm
