<rear defroster help>

Could someone explain to me how the rear defroster & antennae (sp) 
works?  I've just removed a HORRIBLE tint job that the prior owner had 
done; in the process, I pulled off some (maybe 1/2 inch total) of the 
lines.  Now when I'm listening to the FM radio and hit the rear 
defroster, the radio goes to COMPLETE static and only a couple lines 
work.  Sounds like I need to get some of that special stuff at a parts 
store that one paints on and use a meter to find the break.  What are the 
vertical lines (antennae?)  and are they not part of the defroster?  Are 
they laid down on top of the defroster lines so voltage doesn't go thru 
them?

David
