Default rear glass antenna question

While cleaning the rear glass, I noticed that there are 1cm breaks in the copper lines (not the defroster grid on the bottom, but the top 4-5 lines from the roof). Those appear to be the FM diversity antennae. At about 4 in from the driver's side, each line is interrupted by about 1 cm. My car came tinted by the dealership (tint shop contracted by the dealership). Can someone check to see if they have the breaks too, or was my grid damaged by the tint shop? The defroster lines extend from one side to the other uninterrupted. Thanks.

Don't worry about it. This is natural.
