Hard Top Prep Kit controls

[Rcarpen22]

Anyone with a recent soft top build take any pics of the hard top prep kit hookups and controls? I’m just curious how they integrated the controls.

What you mean? The wipe wash is part of the turn switch and rear defrost is in the climate control head. These were always in parts catalogue so instead of 6 different hvac options they are down to 4. There is a bracket on the rollbar for top attachment. Sorry, no pics.

I believe the prep kit is mostly just the plumbing and wiring for rear defroster and wiper

Any insight on whether the rear defrost in the climate control head is any different than the unit with the button for the heated side mirror?

Here's the list of heads for auto climate control but there is a difference for pre and post prep. I don't know what is different internally but the head likely just signals the BCM to turn the defrost on and either controls it by timer or some sort of load sensing. I don't know if anyone has tried to fit the later one and program their pre prep BCM (or if it's even has that function built in) with Forscan to make it work.
