Re: Wind restrictor wiring
It would be helpful to know where you find the wire connection to connect the windscreen wires to. Is there wires in the trunk. Also thinking about the light-up sills and would need to know where to get the wires to turn them on when you open the doors. Don't want to screw up the car. Any pics of wiring???? Ron
Re: Wind restrictor wiring
The Wind restrictors are easy to wire. I do like the idea of a switch or resistor in the line so you could turn it down or off. At times they can be a little distracting at night, however, I like the fact they help other see you. I have one installed and I love it, i may try to put a potentiometer in the line so I can turn it up and down.
The directions with the unit are pretty good, you will be able to figure it out.

It's too bad they can only come into the forum to promote their product but don't read the posts to provide customer support:

Very Good! How do I get to the wire in the trunk? I see the red and green wire in the trunk in the photo but how do you get to it? Do you remove the carpet? Looks like maybe some round shaped carpet clips have to be pulled out? Ron

Re: Wind restrictor wiring
YOU CAN GET TO ALL THE WIRES IF YOU OPEN THE TOP, AND LET THE TONNQUE COVER ALL THE WAY UP AND THEN STOP IT. ALL THE WIRES ON THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ARE ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE OPEN. AND NO THE TOP DOSE NOT GET IN THE WAY OF THE RESTRICTOR. THE WIND RESTRICTOR COMPANY SALE ALL KIND OF CUT OFF SWITCHES OR DAILS JUST CALL AND ASK TO SPEAK TO STEPHEN.

Re: Wind restrictor wiring
I HAVE MINES WIRED TO THE TAIL LIGHT. ITS A RED WIRE ON THE TAIL LIGHT JUST TAP INTO THE WIRE AND WHEN YOU CUT ON THE LIGHTS IT WILL COME ON. YOU CAN ADD A INTERUPTER SWICTH TO THE RED WIRE COMMING OFF THE WIND RESTRICTOR TO CUT IT ON OR OFF WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR LIGHTS ON AND DON'T WANT THE RESTRICTOR ON.
Re: Wind restrictor wiring
remember also that after so long with the ragtop cover up like that, the hydralics will release and close the top. put something to prop it up to hold it. I made the mistake of applying my ground to large group of wires back there that were all grounds grounded by a bolt. I had the bolt out and all the wires were not grounded when the lid closed by itself. Guess what that bolt grounded? Yup! The motor to open the cover back up and the trunk lock! I had to use the special emergency tool that will manually open the ragtop cover! That little tool comes in handy! :-)

Re: Wind restrictor wiring
it comes with instructions, so King Penn really doesn't have to monitor this site, although he does from time to time. I just wired mine to the brake light. It can be really annoying with the top up at night, unless you do as Frank did and wire in a switch. Plenty of places to tap into wiring if wiring in the switch in the tail light section. That area is not going to interfere with the top operation. Good luck
