I did this and am pretty happy with it. I partially documented it here:

In addition to allowing a manual override, it lights an indicator on
the dash when the thermoswitch closes on its own. I have seen it once
or twice on a hot day while the engine was running.
Cost is one defroster switch and a homemade wiring harness.
