I have some problems wif mah rear defogger too...only the center works...the top and the bottom of the rear windshield stays fogged...but it clears up at a reasonable speed.
And sometimes it depends if you car is warmed up or not.

check to make sure all the plugs are connected, then make sure thoes flat metal strips arent broken in spots.  if you still have probs disconnect the plugs and ceck them with a miltimeter to make sure your getting power to all of them - i think there is at least 2

A lot of times people screw up rear defrosters on accident..   One main way is by removing stickers with razors..  If you hit one of the strips it will no longer work.

This is the problem I had in my old Probe..  Just had to live with it.  only other option was to buy a new rear window..  $$$

I think i jus did that when i took off the 4 Sales sticker after i got the car...so if one of the strips are cut there is no way to fix it??? (Besides breaking the windshield?)
