Why won't by back window defrost? It does defrost just takes a long time.

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Beetle. It sounds like your rear defroster is working, but it is taking longer than expected. There could be a couple of reasons for this. Over time, the defroster grid lines on the window might have worn down or become damaged, reducing their efficiency. You can inspect the grid lines to see if any are visibly broken or scratched. Another possibility is that the electrical connection to the defroster is loose or corroded, which can lead to slower heating. If you feel like it's becoming a more significant issue, I suggest having a technician check the defroster wiring and connections to ensure everything works properly. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
