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.
