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, the distortion has covered the entire window.
