Good to know it's another option available. Like you I never drive mine in wet, frosty or snowy weather so I have no use for the defroster either. When mine fails it will probably depend on my financial situation at that time if I replace the whole top or go with this fix. Yesterday while coming home from lunch I was behind a VW Golf convertible that the rear window obviously had fallen out. There was an inch wide (maybe more) strip of clear silicon around the entire window. TACKY!
