Heated Rear Screen - Top Heating Elements Not Working

[darrude]

Hi, Since having my IS, the top 3 heating elements on my rear screen haven't worked. Is this normal? or should I take it back?

Thanks,

Darren

I think some of the lines are used as an antenna for the radio, not sure how many though,,

I think mine is the same. Must be the antenna at the top.

The aerial antennas are the top wires so heated screen doesn't clear them. The top of mine mists up if it is cold and I leave the aircon on recirculation. It usually clears if aircon draws external air.

Before facelift model, the antenna is on top of rear window. But after facelift model, the antenna moved to the top, which is the sharklet antenna.

We've got a 15 plate premier with shark fun aerial. Still have imbedded aerial at the top of the rear windscreen.

Nothing to worry about for the OP.

Only the satnav GPS antenna is moved to the roof fin, the radio antenna and are still in the back window.

Thanks, guys, saved me a moan to the dealer.
