new antennas - did they wise up?

[Lawrence C Leung]

Probably the multi wire self selecting (between front and rear window)
piece of crap that's in the windshield and rear window of my 200Q. Sort
of a monopole up front (embedded) and probably some part of the function
of the rear defroster wires. My guess is the top 3 wires in back as they
don't seem to heat the window.
