Default Cold weather / raining driving ( bad defroster ) HELP!!!!

Ok, so im driving in the rain and its just pooring big time and its in southern cali but im not sure what the temp was. but anyways. It was just me in the car and it started to fog up just a little bit even tho my defroster was on apperently. But I was just pulling up to the shop where I work at. So I didnt think much of the fogginh up. But like 2 mins later, my friend gets in my car and we were going to get lunch, and my car immediatly fogged up so bad I literally couldnt see a damn thing. So we jumped in his car..

My question is, Does anyone else have a defrosting problem? My car doesnt have AC but I dont think that has anything to do with it altho I cant turn my heat control to heat instead of cold but warm air comes out when I put the defroster on.

But any help would be great

Try turning the climate control off of the circulation setting and on to the fresh air one. It should clear up the car fairly quickly.

Rain-X makes some Anti-Fog stuff for windows. I put that on the inside of my coupe and I've had good results. Still will fog sometimes but only when I have like 3 people in there and the weather is bad but all other times it stays clear. I'd say try some of that.

Oh yeah, the day after I drove in the rain, I pull away from my moms house and my car sounds like a fricken Subaru WRX.. Apperently water got into my cyliders through the air intake and it caused my engine to missfire. LOL Rain just causes so much problems
