Default Quarter Window Defroster 99’ D1

Hi everyone,

1999 Discovery D1 SD
Both of my rear quarter window defrosters aren’t working, however my 5th door defroster works well. Nothing wrong with the button connector, but I did notice there’s a small unit above the quarter glass window. Anyone have experience with this unit or had one fail on them in the past?

That's not a window defroster, its the radio antenna built in to the quarter glass.

Turn on your A/C and adjust temp (to warm) to improve defrost results. The A/C draws the moisture out of the air.
