Re: Winter Parking Preparations
You can drop a monster GM blower motor in that heater box and actually
drive at -30 without gloves on!!!!
All the windows defrost, even just with the soft top.

Re: Winter Parking Preparations
I bought a new one from Canadian Tire for twenty something dollars. I
think there is a 'premium' one sold some places, but the shaft is too
long, so if you have a compare choice, go for the shorter shaft.
I drove one winter with only the bikini and soft doors on. It kept my
feet and hands warm and the windshield defrosted.... After I shoveled
out the snow to go.

Re: Winter Parking Preparations
I bought a new one from Canadian Tire for twenty something dollars. I
think there is a 'premium' one sold some places, but the shaft is too
long, so if you have a compare choice, go for the shorter shaft.
I drove one winter with only the bikini and soft doors on. It kept my
feet and hands warm and the windshield defrosted.... After I shoveled
out the snow to go.
