Default Back Window Distortion?

We bought our TCH two days ago and absolutely love it! However, I drove it at night for the first time tonight, and realized that I get horrible 'ghost' images in the back window! The lights from cars behind me get reflected (or is it refracted?) by each defroster wire on the rear window and so I get vertical 'stripes' of lights from each car. It wreaks hell on my depth perception and I'm afraid I'm going to end up changing lanes into a motorcycle or something, because I can't use my rear view in conjunction with the side mirrors.

Does anyone else have this problem, or should I be going back to the dealer to get it fixed?

I confirmed that it is the same viewing through the rear view mirror and looking directly through the rear window, so it isn't something odd with the dimming feature.
