Hey Chris, can you get pictures on your phone? Send me a private message with your phone number and I will take a picture and send it to you from my phone. I have a 70 Roadrunner convertible. It's a black toggle switch that says "top" on it, two screw hold it in. Here's a few other things that might help you.
1. I just saw reproduction wiring available for the convertible switch from Megaparts.
2. I've "heard" that the switch is identical to the power rear window switch for station wagons & the black plastic switch itself just needs to be turned around (says rear window on one side & top on the other side). I've never confirmed this, but I guess I can look while I'm taking the picture.
Hey Chris, what are you trying to accomplish with this? Your left two pictures look correct for a 70 Satellite convertible top switch. I don't think you can use a rear defogger switch since if you pushed it to "on" it would stay there....like a rear window defogger, it would stay on for a few minutes, which might burn out your convertible top motor.PM sent.
1) According to the MPC the conv top switch (2864489) is the same switch as the rear window switch on station wagons as you suspected.
2) I just found a rear defrost switch on ebay. The switch is the wrong one, but the bracket is the same (I need picture to confirm) and the knob reads "P Wind" on one side and "Top" on the other. Looks like that knob had a lot of uses.

Thanks for the pictures. I am now fully educated in area of 1970 power top switches.Here are pics of the switch from my 70 Satty . As you can see the back of the switch says R Wind. Hope these help.
