New MY11- Rear side windows defrost- bit missing?

Given the lovely cold snap, just noticed that my 1 month old FL2 only defrosts the drivers rear side window and rear windscreen but not the passenger rear side window. On inspection there does not appear to be anything connecting the wires on the passenger side, it looks like a popper stud whereas the working side has a little black thing with wire, and there are only 3 wires down the window instead of the 5 as per the other side. Before I phone up my least favourite dealership, can someone confirm there is something amiss before I look like an idiot and them being like you needed this extra to defrost the passenger side!

Don't quote me but I was under the assumption these weren't defrosting elements...and were the radio aerial? Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

That's right,
They aren't de-frosting elements, 1 side is a radio aerial and the other side is something. I could have sworn I've read it on here what they are.

One is definitely the radio, the other could be for the mobile phone aerial? Neither of them are heating elements though.

Very Happy Thank you so much.. idiot moment easily averted. Oh the shame if I had gone in and said that. At least I retain a bit of anonymity on a forum and can hide my blushes.
