get an expert to do it. Dont try it yourself, you will cock it up, and when its an important part of the structure of the car, you dont want to get it wrong.

There was a guide on this or a topic about this on the rs2000-16v forum so maybe head over there for a look. Wasn't as complicated as you think, someone made a list of parts you need, some of the wiring is already in the dash for the button but there was some more wiring required to get the contacts at each bottom corner of the glass. Once button, wiring and whatever else is required is in place you would really need a professional to fit the windscreen for you one becuase as above its inportant its fitted properly for car structure etc, but also they're so bloody expensive you don't want to break it. Its something i fancy doing myself as it would be so handy.
