I'm installing the hardware for the OEM hardtop I just received. Everything's flowing smoothly EXCEPT for what seems like should be the simplest thing.

Where does the harness from the driver's side catcher plug into? Here are a few pictures to show what I'm looking at. The instructions say to look for the only available open 2 pin connector near the corner of the door opening. There is nothing there at all. Is there something different in mine? I have an 07 and noticed that I did not have to modify any panels to get the catchers to fit.



This is everything that I see when I'm looking for the open connector. There is nothing inside the "hole" behind the seat, and there is nothing in that mess of wires by the gas cap puller. The little red colored wire goes into a very wide 2 pin connector that's being used. The little black wire that goes into the gas puller area is a ground from the main harness.



Here's another somewhat blurry shot from the top (catcher isn't installed in this picture).



Any help will be appreciated. I already finished the passenger side, and that took me only 10 minutes. I want to be able to finish this quickly, as I'm itching to get it on and take some more pictures.

Thanks!

Not sure, there are a couple of harnesses that are included in the kit. I'm working on the hardware now and will put the top on on the weekend.

Ironically, I have that printed out and was using that as well as Hardtopguy's instructions. Unfortunately, they did not help. There is no free open plug in this area on my car. Not sure if this picture will link correctly.

EDIT: Guess not....but! I figured it out. See below post.

 

Well, I didn't figure it out. A member on s2ki pointed out something quite obvious.

I need the hardtop subharness (Y-harness) to connect everything. It was actually included in the hardtop kit and I wasn't sure what it was for. I thought it was extra .

Stay tuned for a full how-to for the HT install.
