I also thought the vertical lines were the antenna on my '03, but the top two lines of my defroster don't seem to work cuz the rest of my window defrosts fast except for the top two sections, so I asked on another forum and I was told that the top 2 lines were for the antenna and the vertical lines were just to speed up defrosting which was a problem on the earlier accords. Could this be true?
No. Defrosting has never been a problem with Hondas. Any lines on the rear window that don't aid in defrosting are part of the antenna. They may have added additional horizontal lines for the fm diversity antenna.
