Looking into adding these kits to cab, anyone DIY this job?
Easy or tough?

I did it on a l5460 solo. Not hard. Would have been very easy with a helper.

Who is your supplier? I should have gotten it installed on the L4060 and now I will need an after market

The wiper is easy, dont know about the defroster.

I did both. Easy enough job. The rear defroster is actually a new back piece of glass. The hardest part was removing the roof. It's just a lot of bolts to remove.

As said, wiper is easy.
For defrost what I did was to mount a 12 vdc computer fan (3"diam) onto a magnet so that I could position for best results.
The fan blown (slightly warm) cabin air is ample to keep the rear window fog free.

How did you remove the roof? What bolts were involved? I can't see any I can get to holding the roof on. Need to remove mine to do some wiring.
