Amie, as far as I'm aware it will, unless you have certain roll hoops, I can't remember if yours has, your hard top seems to be on permanently.
Is it the one from the breakers at Nevendon, good buy if so.

Hi Adrian, er excuse me. my soft top was on at the meet and has been for two weeks now.  and its been down. twice. ;D Anyways... no i don't think i've got any roll hoops, unless they are very subtle. When the hood does go down, the highest thing is the tops of the seats - is this what you mean? aim |

Yes, perfect, then you should be OK.
Do you have the wiring loom and switch for the heated rear window ?

If you have been using a hard top, dont you have the switch, relay and wire already?
If so then you should just be able to re-use the parts for the soft top glass heated window, as I beleive the wiring connecters are the same, and the switch and relay will be no differnet.

That's a point, what about that Amie ?
Did you have a heated rear window in that hard top of yours, have you a switch already in your centre console ?

You could order the loom and get the switch from the breakers, I know it's there, I was looking at it last time I was there.

No need for "wiring loom", kit comes with switch and relay. Easy to fit, just a push in, I mean I did mine...... Kit was about £20.

Hi Amie, I can supply a kit for you and can bring it down to the next Roadsters meet if you like. Can also fit it for you whilst we're there, it only take 20seconds. Let me know.
Steve

Yes, there is Ralph, in celestial blue, it 's been there about two months now, slight N/SF damage, really don't know why it was written off.
There is also a black 54 plate there with rear end damage.
