hey guys, I recently lost my AC due to a crash i'v had a while back, I just got my car out of the body shop a while back...

ANYWAYS!! its been getting colder outside and its starting to rain.. the rainy season is coming for us here in TEXAS, and my windows inside gets all foggy and ****!!

what can I do to stop the foggyness without using the AC?

Rub a bar of soap on the inside of the windows and buff it off with a dry towel.

Do not under any circumstances use the Rain-X anti-fog ****. All it does is put normal Rain-X (denatured alcohol) on the inside of your windows, smear around, make **** hard to see. Even when it does what it's supposed to, watter will run down the windows and behind your interior pieces, pooling up. **** never comes off, either.

Dry bar of ivory soap. It's a ski'er trick. Used to do it to the inside of my goggles.

I wouldn't do it to your rear window because it'll smell funny when the soap heats up, and you have a defroster back there anyways.

simply enough, crack your windows open a 1/4 inch and run the heat or defrost if its cold. i live in ohio and i drive my civic through the winter. they have terrible problems with defogging the window. if all else fails just crack the windows.

I used to use the AC when it was raining cause my windows would fog up real bad, but I learned I can use the warm defroster button for the front as well as the back.. It takes a few minutes to defrost, so while my car warms up I let it do it's thing. Much nicer to drive in rainy weather with clear windows and a warm car!

just crack the windows a little and vent the heater, take the air from outside. works for me everytime. been driving with no ac for 5 yrs

if all else fails take the bus ... ahaha but seriously i just crack the window and if you are worried about a little rain water have a little towel you can drape on the door panel .. but if its pouringg *** rain - S.O.L

stop breathing inside the car....leave a window open....leave the cold air on the winsheild...there are a lot of things to do.

don't recirculate the air. saw someone post that up a few posts, and i think that's ubber important. i hardly use the a/c when it rains... all i ever do defrost using the coldest setting pulling air in from the outside. i'll have to try that soap trick...
