Default Windows fogging in rain.

Alright, I have googled many searches on this subject, I can only come up with

1. Clean windows.
2. Seals.
2. use rain-x anti-fog

Others had no idea what they are talking about.

How would I go about checking my seals? Where would I have to take my car? Can I do it on my own?

I do not have A/C since I took it out

It had just recently started getting very very bad, I understand how dangerous this can be for driving, Would like to have some input on this annoyance. Maybe personal experiences.

Mine does this as well, put the climate control on outside air and turn the fan on.

Edited to make sense.

That would decrease the amount of vapor from the engine/road from entering the car correct?

Makes sense.

Sorry, i misposted above, that should read turn on outside air, i think it equalizes the humity inside and outside the vehicle, honestly it really doesn't matter how it works, it just matters that it does.

Take a water hose and hose the entire car down for 5 or 10 minutes while you sit inside, and look around for water leaking around doors and windows. also be sure to check your trunk (obviously you probably dont want to cram yourself in there so just check it after you hose it down). Replace seals as needed. Don't try to repair them, it won't work haha.

QFT. It actually makes things WORSE. It leaves a film that's damn near impossible to get off. **** sucks.

i have yet to ride in a honda where the windows didnt fog up one time or another. the best stuff i found is called invisable glass. it comes in a spray can.

then napa. i think, has a glass cleaner that still has amoinia in it, and will take off whatever dirt or grime is on your window (works real well on bugs too, they just wipe right off).

anyways, since i cleaned my windows with that, i havent had them fog up near as bad.
