Default hardtop wiring

For those of you who have a soft top and are going to switch to a hardtop don't make the same mistake I did! In order to power the rear wiper and defroster you need to buy a wiring harness kit which I got for 150 bucks! This includes everything you need EXCEPT GOOD INSTRUCTIONS and COMPUTER FLASH! The labor at a dealership is about 250 bucks for the install. This sounds expensive but please trust me it is worth every penny!!!! I am a very mechanically inclined person 6hrs later still was not done bloody fingers and a broken connector!!! Decided to go to dealership to get computer flashed and told them to finish it! 150 bucks later they fixed the connector I broke and found I had something wired wrong in the tipm! They told me I got lucky that I could have burned up the tipm! So my advice is TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IT IS WELL WORTH THE 250 BUCKS this includes the flash ;-)
