Very odd. I’m going to have to check mine now.That is what I am thinking as well. I just found it odd how it says rear on the radio screen.
If you get a hard top, then it'll work.I have a soft top that came with the rear defroster button. It even says rear on the radio (see pics). Does this actually do anything? Maybe it activates the side mirror defrost?
I also have the premium soft top and park in the garage so don’t have to use it much either. I’m going to go with it’s for the mirrors.I'm guessing its for the Mirrors as well. I have the Premium soft top (thank god) but I do have the defrosting mirrors, and it seems like, when I get around to driving my JT in winter, which is next to never, this button melts the frozen moisture off the mirrors. Other than that, JT sits in the garage waiting for the next summer trail run to where ever.
Good to hear. Hope to see you on the trails at some point.I also have the premium soft top and park in the garage so don’t have to use it much either. I’m going to go with it’s for the mirrors.
Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.The wiring is included standard on all JTs for the defroster on the hard top. (It's under a little plastic panel on the drivers side next to the back seat.) If you install a hard top, you hook up that connection and the button controls the rear window defroster. With the soft top installed, it only controls the mirror heaters.
