Default Decals on back heated glass

I am considering ordering some vinyl decals for my back heated glass. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the decals being damaged from the heated glass.

I don't use the rear defroster ever. Not once as there's never been a need. Plus the worry about it shattering discourages me more.

Why would it shatter?

Possibly hot-spots creating stress to the glass, is what the OP is thinking?

People are pulling the fuse on the rear defrost window circuit, cause they are worried that it will explode if they use it.

Had a couple small decals on back glass for years now, zero issues.

What a bunch of silly half-logic that argument uses. I bet you're right, though, that's what the prevailing thought probably is. It's not a correct one, but sure, it's a thought.

Heard of them shattering, I've been using my defrost with my large pledge of allegiance sticker for months, never had an issue.
