Default Distortion through rear window in RX350

Thinking of purchasing a rx350. I notice that when I look out the back window by looking in the rear view mirror at a car or truck it seems to distort ie shimmer or dance a little. Like i am looking out of a wavy window. Is this normal? Due to the curve of the rear window or the tint or the defroster lines????
Thanks

Are you wearing polarized sunglasses by chance? They'll pick up the residual tin on the inside of the window, and it make everything look wierd, by kind of adding a checkerboard pattern of distortion.
