Previous owner purchased a factory hard top from a Jeep salvage yard for this 2005 X that originally only came with the soft top. He told me they had offered him a 'Kit' that would retrofit wiring and or switches so the wiper / defroster would work, but He declined since he was told the Driver's Air Bag would have to be removed, and he didn't want to touch that.

I searched here and the web quite a bit but can't really find any info if a factory or even aftermarket 'kit' exists or existed for this. Maybe it was something the yard put together?

Be nice to get that rear wiper and defrost working.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

2005 X RME,

You'll need to purchase the components, likely all used, and wire/plumb it up yourself. There was a factory kit available at one time but I doubt you'll find one now.

This thread might help:

Thank you.

Those part numbers led me to this Rear Wiper install document, so I'll post here for others who may need it.

Just an FYI in case you weren't aware, the page snip I posted above is out of the 2005 TJ parts list, available for download in PDF format in the TJ Resources section of this forum. You'll also find service manuals and other tech docs pertaining to all years of the TJ series. They tend to be useful when hunting down part numbers. 👍
