Anyone else have a window that just gives three lines of effort (top, middle, bottom)? Any fix other than replacing the whole rear window? I know there is the special finger nail polish that connects breaks in the lines, but I really don't see any of those.

there is a repair kit available from some of the parts stores it works well. You need to find the breaks in the grid by using a test light Place one lead on the positive side of the grid and then slowly move the other lead across each line that isn't working when you hit the broken part the test light will light try using masking tape under that line and make the spot do that to all broken lines based on the amount that you say aren't working you may need two repair kits. You also may look at the grid line with a magnifying glass and you may get lucky to see where they are broken test light works best

also check your tube for any videos on this
