I have a Miata Hardtop without a rear glass defroster. Can I use a Clear View Kit?
Yes! But it takes a little doing. The 2609 Clear View Kit is the one to consider. The grids are spaced 1.25in apart on the kit for 13in total height. The Miata has about a 10x29in rear window so at first blush the 2609 is to tall and does not meet the 40in minimum. Many owners have cut the heating element paper and side bus bars to allow closer spacing. The shorter length will make the grid run a little hotter. It is critical that no heating elements be removed and that the bus bar layout be maintained as per the directions.
