High level brake light rubs through the glass electrical element. I had to run a wire up the side of the glass(tucked behind the rubber) to the brake light to get it to work again. My 3 elements for the heated rear screen are not working either. I have posted about this before so look up my posts and you will probably find more details.

Not 100% sure but I think the bad batch I read about may have been front screens. Steve.
