I have a 02 Accord. I turned on the rear window to defrost some ice/snow yesterday and it didn't melt the whole glass. There was a strip on ice/snow on the very top of the window. Is this normal or should I take it in to get it checked?

 

Certain accord models have a built in antenna at the top of the glass. My guess is that's your situation. If you don't have an external antenna that's what it is.

 

yeah i dont have an external antenna. So it is normal?

 

Yep, those lines and what not you see up there are the antenna.

Now it IS a problem if it's like halfway down the rear glass but there's the equivalent of 1-2 of those lines (distance wise) towards the top that is the antenna

 

Thanks a lot, you just saved me a trip to the dealership.
