Default Rear Defrost Stop Working Anyone?

So the saga continues.....I swear this car is cursed. After chasing it around the country, finally getting it here and having the clutch and flywheel replaced after the first test drive, now this?!

During the final PDI, they found the rear defrost was inop. According to them, it is an issue with the element itself in the rear glass and are going to replace it(the glass). Anyone had the same issue?

I appreciate the fact that all of this is being done at no cost to me and pre-delivery so it's not an inconvenience, either. Can't help but think this car is Christine reincarnated!!

I probably need to just CTFD and be patient...all good things come to those who wait....right??? Here's hoping!

The heating lines in the glass were broken. Perhaps someone put tint on the window and then removed it.

That was my first thought...I see that in my shop quite often. Just curious if there might've been something else that was a common issue on these cars.
