Something to do with the angle of the window i'm guessing.

Very useful 

Thinking more to do improvements in later models than the angle of the window, one of the common problems with early Estates that had a integrated aerial with the Rear Demister was audio crackling when the Demister was switched on in week Radio Signal areas and the other being that the outer braid on the aerial coax cable would eventually keep catching or break on the vehicles metal body when the Tailgate was opened and closed.

The roof mount is for the satnav/carphone. The radio ariel is built into the rear window, and is generally crap on all omegas!

Incorrect, the op drives a late 3.2 MV6 Estate so no Sat Nav or Cell phone equipment installed, the twig on the roof is for FM radio reception. only the very early Mig Esates had the Aerial built into the rear tailgate de-mister window wiring.

The roof aerial on the estate combines radio and GSM (telephone) as the cars are prewired for phone.

The rear screen aerial on the saloons is usually fine if clean, it's the amp under the parcel shelf that can fail.

Ok, so which of you barons is correct then? I'm pretty sure my mates '03 MV6 is rear window....

We are Both correct, I was pointing out that the car was an MV6 Model, so no Phone and GPS toys fitted so the Antena is only being used for FM. VXL V6 was pointing out the fact the Estates Aerial came prewired for FM and Phone (ie, optional toys fitted to Elite Models) which answers the OP's question about what are the extra wires for.
