There are a few gaps(spaces) on the grids near the top of the tailgate window. Is yours like that or is it a solid copper grid. Never saw this before. Does not look or seem normal.

 

Mine has the following gaps:

• Top right of tailgate, about an inch in from the rounded darker glass
• One small (1mm?) gap just below the rearview camera on each of the top two defroster wires
• One larger gap (~1") on the second wire down top left of tailgate, plus a few small gaps on that same wire

I found no gaps in any of the lower wires.

Since we took delivery in May, we've had no cause to run the rear defroster. I would be surprised if the gaps impact function in any way, but I'll keep an eye out when we get into that weather.

 

ok seems to be normal...I can exhale. Every little thing bothers me...was not sure about that. Thanks for the quick reply...Frank
