Does anyone else have issues with camera in the top center of the windshield being blocked by even the mildest of window frost? Obviously in the winter I scrape it clean but lately even if my windshield clears with one pass of the wipers and very little defrosting is necessary, I'll still get the failure warnings going off (lane assist and brake assist or whatever it's called) are triggered. Are others seeing this or just me?

I live in Louisiana, so frost is a rare occurrence. But I do get the warnings during heavy fog.

I haven't had the issue (that I've noticed yet, anyway), but I did notice the other day that the front camera has a defroster that's like the back window (electric tape running across the window) because the defroster for the rest of the windshield can't blow air in front of the camera. Is it possible that it just defrosts at a different speed than the rest of the windshield? The wipers clearing the rest of the screen won't help the camera at all either.

My 5th gen did the exact same thing. Quite annoying as it's going off for most of spring and fall for the first 5-10 minutes of a drive in the morning and evening.
