Well maybe you have a crack in the attachment where your rear window defroster attaches to the power supply. All that it is, is a piece of exposed metal soldered onto a power wire and runs electricity through the rear window. So look at the bottom edges of the window and see if the solder is cracked or the wire broken or something.

Before you do that thouh look under your dash and see what fuse is for your rear defroster and see if that fuse is blown out.

I don't know how honda's defrost works but usually just check along the edge of the window for the connection and see if any wires are lose, if not try moving the connection point to connect properly.

You could just stick a meter on the defroster connection at the glass. If your getting 12v to the leads, it's a problem on the glass, if your getting nothing, it's electrical and you can start tracing backwards.
