Rear window defrost lines have gaps

coolesnce · 09-02-2014, 12:04 AM

Hi Everyone. I just took deliver of my X4 M package 3.0 fully loaded over the weekend. Its a beauty! I noticed that the back window defroster lines on the lower center and lower right side have gaps in the defroster lines and have lines that aren't even connected to the other lines by having gaps on both ends. I anted to see if any of you that already took delivery have those gaps as well. I couldn't find any pictures online to compare. If any of you could take a close up of your rear window that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. Here is a picture of what the gaps are that I am talking about. I highlighted them in red. any feedback from X4 owners would be appreciated. Went to 2 dealers today and they didn't have any at their lots.

I just checked my X4, and indeed there are gaps in exact same places where you draw those red circles.

Next question is, will it warmup even it looks like wire is not connected, hmmm...

I believe that those are not all defrost wires. The portion of wires with the breaks in them are most likely am and fm antennas. Other cars have these type of antennas on the rear windshields.
