Unhappy Rear window defogger

Hi all,

I found out that the top two heating lines do not work on my rear window. Now I have looked at whether there were breaks in those lines, but I can not see anything. Anyone have an idea to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

you can use a multimeter to check conductivity and voltage in the lines and should be able to identify any broken spots or lines that arent working. there are repair kits online to fix this.

those lines look like they are on the outside, in which case I would assume they are for the antenna. i have never seen defroster lines on the outside of a car.
