I CAN'T SEE CLEAR IMAGE ANY OBJECT BEHIND ME BECAUSE THE REAR WINDSHIELD ARE WAVINESS OR CURVING AROUND, STEAMY SEEMS LIKE YOU DRIVING IN A REAL HOT DESERT AREA. I AM WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IS HYBRID CAR EASY CATCH ON FIRE AND REAR WINDSHIELD ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE HUGE PACK OF BATTERY! THE SERVICE MANAGER OF HONDA CHECKED & SAID EVERY ACCORD HYBRID IS LIKE THAT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT NOT ON REGULAR GAS ACCORD. HONDA CAN'T CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THE DESIGN OF THE HYBRID. *TR
