I agree with KOZ, our rear defroster is pretty weak...

I have no tint. Forget about snow, it won't even clear a slight foggy window. It clears about a 16th of an inch. The fog will only clear after the interior heat reaches the rear. This is ridiculous!

Mine works quite well, but then again, I've never had actual frost on the car.

Yea the chicago area is getting pretty crappy this year but I on the other hand like the rear defroster just fine. I just wipe all the snow off and the defroster takes care of the ice in like 2 mins.
