    In 2016 when i first purchased my 2012 honda accord, i noticed that the rear window visibility was (slightly) distorted around the defroster lines. At that time i was downsizing from a honda odyssey, so i thought maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks with me because i was used to a larger rear window where the defroster lines were not so close together. This distortion gradually got worse, and as of july 2018,…

    Visibility/Wiper

    All the glass on the car with the exception of the windshield suffers from the same problem. There is a streaky finish to the glass that when wet and especially when it's damp and dark outside dangerously obscure the vision from inside the vehicle.
