Well mine works, it just takes forever to start working. Leave it in, because in the winter the rear glass stays fogged up, and is nearly impossible to see out of.

You might want to check those little lines that run across the rear window. There may be a split in one and that could be the reason for your defrost not working!

This happened to me once. I had to go buy a kit to fix it. You just put tape on either side of the element line and use the stuff in the kit to repaint the line on an presto!

Yeah use conductive silver paint... they sell it at computer stores and radio shizack..

it's almost DEFINATELY a bad connection somewhere...

Mine ROCKS... it's faster than putting on the a/c which is pretty fast in itself..

use the anti-fog made by rain-x. works great, and since its the back window you will probably need to only apply it once.

that's another good idea... I have a "fog mit" that you just wipe over the window and it dramatically reduces fog... it's great because it drives me NUTS that I have to put on the a/c everytime it rains...

Nothing like stepping into your car soaking wet and turning on the AC

are/have the windows ever been tinted? sometimes when putting in or removing window tint the lines can get broken and will not work for ****, my old integra is a fine example...
