Can you add rear defrost?

[Tdaz250]

This may sound dumb but im basically looking into what features the LT has that my LS doesnt and rear defrost is one of them. Can this be added? Or would it be like a super pain in the butt to do. I just think it'd be cool to have for all the times i come out and my windows are frozen in the morning. Plus i've also looked into adding heated mirrors and i guess the heated mirrors come on with the rear defrost so...how hard is it to add you think?(if its even possible)

my LS came with rear defrost..but i think in order to convert it youd need a a new entire back glass..plus all the wiring and finding new heater/ac/defrost controls.it could probably be done but would definatly be a pain in the a**

Oh its on the temp. controls? i thought it was a button to the right. What goes in the slot next to the airbag control thing then? I know the long top piece is for onstar, and then one is the airbag thing, whats the other little slot(thought thats where defrost was).

i think i may have confused myself..you may already have a button for it.and if you have the button you may already have the wiring.does it light up or anything when you push it?i think the way rear defrost works is with the little lines you see in some back glasses.they adjust the temp. in the glass to defrost it.so if you have the button and the wiring already you may just need the back glass.i hope all this didnt confuse you!haha

I dont have the button i just thought thats where it goes. Yeah sorry i dont want to make it confusing heh. I just thought it was its own button but it its in the climate control switches then that might be a little complicated

[redneckarmyMP]

oh ok gotcha.yea on mine theres a button on the same control panel as the ac/heat.all i have to do is push it for rear defrost.it sounds like it may be more trouble than its worth

[Tdaz250]

yeah your probably right. I still kinda want to see if it can be done though heh. Is the defrost lines inside the glass or is it just stuck on?

[redneckarmyMP]

mine is inside the glass.i think its the same on my s-15 jimmy

Random change in topic i see you got discover STT's. Are those the ones that are the same kinda design as Toyo MTs ?

[redneckarmyMP]

yea they seem to be pretty much the same thing..ive never tried the toyos so i cant speak from experience.but i love these coopers.great in just about every terrain(except for snow)dont get much of that down here in alabama so im not sure about that one.the cooper STs are great too
