anti fog sprays, if you played paintball before they have sprays that makes your mask less to no fog. try wal-mart. my windows fog up like a bitch too. and my heater barely working only on 3rd and 4th speed. its best to get the heat working, safest too.

A trick I picked up from paintball is shaving cream. Smear it on the glass and wipe off. If you dont think that its going to work put it on your bathroom mirror and take a hot shower, there should be no fog. Try that or just crack the windows a bit and let the cold air from inside clear it up. On my 98 ex I open up the back of the moon roof and open the vents to get some air flow without turning on the air to clear it.

the reason civics have the problem with the foggy windows is because when you turn on the defroster and the a/c. other cars automatically turn on the a/c when you which on defroster. the reason being is not only does the a/c keep you cabin cool it also words as a dehumidifier therefor not allowing for your windows for fog. one little mishap with civics.
