Default To those w/ no A/C: what to do about fogging windows?

I have a CX with no A/C and I was wondering if there's anything I go do like when it's warm and rainy and all the windows fog. I have to resort to rolling the windows down to let air circulate. Is there anything out there that maybe goes on the inside of windows to keep them from fogging?

My SI has AC of course but one thing I have noticed since I got my windows tinted is that they don't fog up nearly as much. I don't ever turn on my AC and don't hardly have to use the rear defrost anymore. Maybe tint helps out the situation....

I turn on my blower motor too and put it on defrost but it doesn't help... it only helps alittle if I turn on heat and defrost, but who wants to use heat in the summer?

Buy some anti fog spray for paintball goggles, works like a charm.

Yeah heat is the only way to do it. Either sweat in the rain, or drive blind

Yeah its made by rain-x and its called anti-fog in the black box/bottle, you apply it to the inside of the windows and it lasts for a while then you reapply when needed but its does last for a long time and works great.

but also you still have the heater and blower and that will work also.

Hit the fresh air button with the defrost works for me.

Yeah recirculating the hot moist air is going to do that. I know a friend who got rid of his last truck because of fogging windows and all it was is that he always had it on recirculating air.

I use Rain-X Anti-Fog as well.

The switch in my car that allows me to choose where the vetilation comes out at doesn't work now, so now all I get is the upper vents until I fix it.

That means no defogger postion at all, so the Anti-Fog stuff has to work for me. and it does.

I can't take the heat anymore. I am going to put my ac back in!
Orlando traffic + summer = .

I use a towel every few minutes to get rid of the fog! It really impresses the ladies

I can't take the heat anymore.
I wish I had that problem, it just snowed 4 inches over here!!!!

I usually just put the blowers on full blast, but that is for cold weather fogging up, haven't had an oppurtunity to do a hot weather fog up.

Alabama represent! j/k. Man, the Rain-X anti-fog does work really well, and it lasts 3 times as long and works much better if you clean your windows completely with rubbing alcohol first. If i remember correctly, you don't have tinted windows, so this won't hurt anything. If you want some help cleaning all those windows, just IM me, I'll meet up with jOO and help out. Later,
Shawn
