Default Rear Wind Defroster Very Unimpressive

Ok, so one of the few complaints I have with my TCH is that the rear window defroster stinks.

I don't know if there's a problem with mine, or if its everyone's. Today, it was fogged up wtih mist--just normal fall morning stuff. I took a solid 12 minutes for the window to clear. For most of that time, I couldn't see a thing.

Now, I'm coming from a bunch of GM vehicles. Most of them had a lot of problems, but the rear window defrosters are great. They have a zone system that clears a middle portion first (in under a minute easily) so you can see something out back there, and in 5 minutes everything is pretty much gone. Even winter frost cleared quickly. This kind of frost today would have taken probably 2 minutes, max, for the whole rear window.

So this TCH performance is disappointing and rather annoying.
