    Simple rear wiper/defroster tie-in?

    My '16 hardtop, doesn't have body side-connections for power/washer. I'm not interested in spending ~$250 for a harness plus 4ish+ hours to do entire tie in. Looking for anyone with experience doing a simple power tie-in for defroster/wiper, I don't really need washer. Anyone do this ? Thanks.
