Default Rear glass being replaced by dealer tomorrow.
I have been VERY disappointed with the rear window defroster. Not only is it very weak in comparison to ALL other car that I have owned. I have a section in the middle of the drivers side, 5 and 6 lines below the the top 4 lines that ARE the radio antenna, that just doesn't defrost at all. I'll report back to let every know if there is an improvement.

That's a new problem.
IMO the rear defroster is as good as, if not better, than many other cars that I have driven (older cars at least)
