Can anyone tell me which of the wires on the rear screen are the ones for the antenna. When i use the rear demister there appears to be two vertical wires and two horizontal wires forming a "H" shape that do not appear to heat up when rear demister is switched on

I'd guess so too.
I thought my rear screen was faulty when the top two bars didn't clear, but on inspection, there are deliberate gaps in the bars at certain points, so I presume its the ariel. Clearly with the gaps, they'd be no use as an element.

Apologies for not including my cars details - 2001 E200K. Looks like what I described is the antenna. Thanks for your replies
