It was a bit hard to find the breaks as it is impossible to locate them by measuring the ohms; I switched power on, used the VOM and measured the voltage along each of the lines. Clipped the black end onto the negative side of the rear window and just pointed the needle of the other test lead one cm at a time until I found the break. Then I masked the area and painted. It worked for a while, but not infintely. My Audi doesnt even have a rear defroster - it's a cabrio with plastic rear window and a cold air fan in the rear seat back.
