Rear Window Defogger works slow
We've just had our first few autumn days where a heavy dew settles on the car when the temperature drops in the evenings. When I left the restaurant last night, the moisture was so thick on the outside of the glass I couldn't see out the rear window. I turned on the rear defogger and it was soooo slow. It took five minutes before you could start to see the wire lines in the glass appear and 20 minutes to clear. Is anyone else seeing this? None of my other Lexus' have been this slow to clear the rear window.

Thanks We haven't had frost yet so I'll be curious if frost clears any faster than dew.

I think that's normal as mine takes forever to defrost as well. By the time I reach work 20 minutes away it is still barely clearing the lines. I just got to use to driving without using the rear windows as my tint is super dark.

Glad to hear it wasn't just my car. I guess I'll bring it up at the 5k mile service, but sounds like they won't know it's a problem. Stinks having to learn to live with it. I guess I'll store a squeegee in the trunk to clear the moisture and light frost before driving off.
