    I have a 2022 ORP and was hit and ran at the start of the summer in the driver's rear. It was a very large flatbed work truck. The police found the business and all repairs were paid for but when I got it home today the driver rear glass looks different from the passengers rear side window. It is Toyota glass but there is less heating elements on the new glass.
    Is this something I missed or did they put in the wrong glass.
    Any response would be great. This has been a nightmare. The 4Runner only had 10,065 miles and was less than a year old. The crash as June 25TH and we just got it back today November 3rd.

    Those are radio antennas, not defroster elements.

    Are they different from side to side? I didn't pay attention that close when we bought it.
    PS..Thanks for the response.
    I didn't think about the radio.

    I just checked. The left and right sides are different.
