Does the 09 Corolla have a Rear Windshield Defroster ??

call me stupid but i had class this morning so when i got outside to my car my windows were all fogged up (humidity in jersey in the morning )
and i am sitting in my car and i am looking around and there is NOTHING u can push that has to do with the rear windshield getting defrosted


i even whipped out the manual and no where does it say anything about rear windshield defroster, and i find that REALLY odd because dont most cars have that ?

especially a 09 car, rear windshield defogger ? anyone ?
thanks

Mine does, I assume its a standard option.

Its right in the center of the hot/cold adjustment knob, kind of like the AC on/off switch is in the center of the vent control knob. Though I may have those backawrds.

i have the 09 S model w sport package. well i will try it today and see what happens, that is odd that the side mirrors would control the rear window defroster as well. thanks for the heads up i will give it a try today

That's the way most Toyotas work. It's not that the side mirrors control the rear window, it's the rear window defrost switch, that also turns on the mirrors (it's semantics I know, but still).

This thread is crazy.
