1998 s-10 ext cab - rear window- winter safety problem. I live in upstate new york and in the winter snow laying in the bed of the pickup blows up on the rear window and sticks to it so there is no visibility out the rear window. I thought vehicles in new york were required to have rear window defrosters! having an extended cab truck is no different from having a car and since there are more truck like vehicles on the road today they shouldn't be exempt. I could see is the truck had a sliding glass rear window that a defroster wouldn't be pratical but my truck just has a plain glass window the same as a car. This is a dangerous safety problem in the northern climates and I assumed that when I bought the truck that it would be required to have a rear window defroster.
