There is no defrost wires in that area. The wires are the antenna for your stereo. What you see is perfectly normal.

OMG I can't believe my main dealer did not know that !
They had a COMP demo and the service guy asked the sales guy about his and he said it went to the top !

What the top aerial for?

I believe the AM/FM antennas are in the rear windshield while the satellite antenna is in the "shark fin" on the roof.

Well that explains alot lol, I was wondering why my car didnt defrost the top too and though it was due to the spacing being quite far apart. Thanks man!
