|
|
Hi all, first posting to the forum, can I ask the members of the forum about the fitting of the Alfa Hard Top to my Rodeo Denver 08, how easy is it to fit and any tips, which way do you route the wiring for the heated rear window and the interior light? I assume you can take a live feed from one of the rear brake lights to the high level brake light. Also any ideas on how to seal the tailgate as I intend to carry my dog in the back so I need to seal the tailgate for exhaust fumes. Sorry for all the questions but it this is my first pickup so bear with me .....Cheers Woody |

i haven't done one in a while but i think you get a loom with a switch and some relays that you have to wire in to the cab and route it out and in to the top, it's not difficult and you do get instructions with it |

|
|
Hi,
I have a 2007 Rodeo Denver with hard top fitted. The interior light in the hard top has stopped working. The bulb is OK and there is no power to the contacts.
Does anyone have any wiring diagrams / advice to give in order to fix this?
Regards
Harry |

unfortunatly there won't be any as these are an add on and each fitter could fit them slightly different,you have to find the wires and follow them back they are not that bad to follow and depending on the top normally end up around the passenger footwell. |
