I need a little help with the final install of the hardtop. All fitted up nicely but then got to the wiring bit.
Found the two connectors (male and female) by the rear hardtop mount, easily enough.
Found the taped-up connector under the centre console/handbrake area.
Need to know what sort of switch I need to power the thing now... have a connector that looks like the linked picture and I presume a switch needs to pug into this to mount on the little panel on the rear console. (?).
Any guidance as to the switch that is needed, the one I was given by the guys that sold me the top appears to have no resemblance and (from notes on the forum) appears to be a post-facelift job (lozenge shaped button).

The switches changed pre and post facelift.
If your Z is pre facelift then I think it's Part 61311376444 (SWITCH HEATED REAR WINDOW) that you need.
