A billboard advertisement pointing to the many articles written on this situation should be taken out as close to the dealership as possible. Public opinion will have the guy out of business in a year.

It does not make sense that a rear defrost is required because not all cars have a rear defrost. Your legal requirement is to have clear rear vision. Which can be done with two side mirrors and the rear enclosed, ie. a van. Or scrape the window like the other hundreds of vehicles that don't...
