I agree. I wouldn't call if a problem per say though. The cars are just so small, and then you have people in the car which are breathing at aprox. 98 degrees F (no idea on C). Doesn't make a great combo in some cases, lol. Plus if its raining, its a gimme.

#170906 So you know like back in the day when your hooking up with some girl in your car and before you know it the entire car is all steamed up. Then you gotta get outta there, so you roll your windows down and you driving through the tiny pin hole of clarity you have at the bottom of the windshield with your defrost on blast. Then eventually you can drive just fine but now your freezinng... Anyways long story short...

Have you tried just windexing the inside of all your windows. Like ^^dude said people are breathing steamy breathe all over your windows and eventually they are dirty. Sounds weird but it'll work if you wipe them down on the inside all the time too.

#171282 I dread rainy, cold, foggy, moist, or any other kind of weather besides sunny and dry with my hatch haha. It's bad enough my rear defroster doesn't work (think it might be the relay, but that's for another thread) but even with my front defroster on full blast it can take 30 minutes to clean my windshield, and that's if I'm the only one in the car. Half the time I think about just wiping the sumbitch with my sleeve but then I'll have streaks all the time :eh:

Can bad window seals cause that kind of problem? Cause I don't think either of my windows fit perfectly into the top corner of the door frame.

#171287 Maybe spraying some of the anti fog stuff on all of the windows would help a little?

The rain-x brand works great. I tried some of the cheap stuff from walmart and it didn't do sh*t. It actually made it worse.

#171308 I just read about anti-fog products, and I actually saw a lot of bad reviews about Rain-X's Anti Fog, and saw people using everything from vinegar mixtures to something called Residue Oil Remover (ROR) which is for cleaning camera equipment.

For bathroom mirrors, I've tried shaving cream (which seems to work after a shower) but I don't know if the same trick works in cold weather. I know I'm due for cleaning my windows as it is, but I don't know if dirty windows cause the kind of problem I have lol.

#171617 Ah you bastard, so THAT explains the fog. And the smell :-)

Turns out I had about an inch of water around my spare tire. We had some bitchin' rain over the weekend, so I guess I have a leak somewhere along the hatch. D'oh.

Is problably just the seal, thats whats wrong with mine. Idk if it's just me or it really wroks but when my windows start getting foggy, on the 2 buttons on the climate control. I turn on the one with the green light, it seems to work fine.

#184168 my friend (is like 55years old) told me that happens when somebody smokes inside the car and makes the windows that way.. i have that shit 2 and i tried everything. It will go away for a sec but then it comes back.

Cant seem to do it either. :x
