Defogger mounting question

[Juan Veldez]

Cleaned up the rear window defogger. When I purchased the car, this was sketchily bolted to the cross brace below the package tray. Sounds like there is an assembly that allows it to bolt under the 6x9 speaker. Anyone know if they are available or is there another reasonable option for mounting this?

Here is my original set up. It has an aftermarket speaker; also the fan will fit over either hole but only in this position does the speaker have a straight shot to the package tray..

Also to be complete you need the switch and center vent assembly (top & bottom).

I believe I read somewhere that some cars had the rear defogger without rear speakers, or only one rear speaker on the driver’s side; so your car could be correct without the speaker assembly.

Looks like someone cut the hole through the package tray and metal below it for the vent on mine, not from the factory. I have the vent, but not the switch on the dash. There was a toggle switch attached to the bottom of the dash, I suppose that's what that was for. Thanks for the photos. Helped a bunch.

This might clear up some fog.
