Question Help!! Whats this?

Hi, i have had my '8' now for three months and i have just started to notice a wet patch forming over the rear left side airbag (see photo)

appon inspecting further noticed a lead tucked away under the head lineing and a bent connection on my rear window (see photo)

Now i assume this connector is for the fm radio ariel which is in the rear window, am i right?

And also can i assume that a new rear window has been put in badley and this is why i have a leak in that area and thats why the connector is not connected

Please can any one shed any light on this please?

I would have said rear defrost to be honest...As the male connection is touching the defrost.
I'd take it in. Doesn't look like anything I would want to DIY.
