rear defroster

Now that it's getting cool at night, and we wake up to a cold car... I am using the back window defroster.

I see the little wires in the window, but the top 3 do not defrost.

I was wondering if that is the norm? I will take a pic tomorrow if needed.

Hey i was just reading the manual. It says that the upper wires serve as an antenna and are not part of the rear window defroster.

Tilt your mirror down a bit and you won't even see the top three wires. :-)

Antenna all right. It's not just on this model.

But, it's also not on the verts as we have a stand alone antenna.
