To power our electric heater, I run an extension cord out thru the bottom of the driver's door of our '91 GL. It's a 3-wire orange cord, probably 14 gauge. The rubber stripping around the door isn't very tight anyway :-( I hang the heater from the rear view mirror, angled so that it blows below the curtain that is behind the front seats. Larry A.
