2003 Passat Rearview Window

I recently looked at purchasing an 03 Passat. I loved everything about it except the view throught the rear glass.

No problem sitting still, but with any movement of the car,

the view became wavey, almost the look out of a bad sunscreen job. It was not the sun screen, however it did seem to have something to do with the heat wires in the window. I've since seen another 03 that gave the same effect, but 04s don't seem to do this. Can anyone tell me about this - was it a defect or warranty issue? Thanks.

As far as I am aware there has not been a recall on the Passat for glass. Being a saloon, the backlight very rarely fails, the complete opposite to cousin Octavia (mk1), they fail very frequently. Although the Passat got a revised windscreen in 2000/2001 with the facelift, I don't think the saloon heated rear has ever been recalled / upgraded / modified.

You looking at a saloon or estate?
