[V8] Source for rear glass

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Correct, though there were actually a few variations of this.   
Basically the earlier '90/'91 V8's had the older style heating  
elements (which defrost ice much, much better imo). Plus they have  
the heated quattro script above the third brake light (really cool).   
I believe the '91 200q20v (maybe earlier 200/5ktq's as well) had the  
same and will also fit.  I believe only the later V8's  ('92/'93) had  
the heating elements sandwiched between the panes.
