Rear Heated Window
Hi Everybody !

In the cold weather we are having here I have noticed that the top 4 - 5 inches of the rear window does not defrost / demist when I turn the rear window heater on.

It seems to be the top 4 elements in the glass that can't be getting hot. Could it be that these are actually the radio / GPS aerials and not heater elements ?

Yes, I believe it's both the AM and FM antennae, not heated elements. If you have a band across an otherwise heated space suspect an element failure.
