Default Fog problems with my crx

Alright as topic states....my crx gets fogged up so easily. When i leave the stores and come back an hour later everything is fogged up frozen. Does anyone have this problem? if so how did you solve it? or you just brave it out? It really sucks because today all 6 panes of glass were frozen on the inside. I couldnt see out my rear or sides to back out of my space. This was after a show with Ron WHite so traffic was really bad but i couldnt even see when i could back up.... any helps would be nice thx!

Let your car warm up 15 minutes before you drive it. Make sure there isn't any moisture building up (through a leak somewhere) inside of the car. Park your car somewhere where the next day the sun will hit it and assist in the thawing out "unfreezing" process. If your worried about someone stealing your car then just make a copy of your key and keep that in your pocket and lock your car with the car started.

Does your car have working A/C? If it does, use it. You don't have to be cold - you can set the temp and aim the air where you want it, just like normal, but reach over and turn on the air conditioner. One way it helps make you feel cold in the summer is that it DRIES THE AIR as it cools it. My CRX fogs up, I hit the A/C on defrost at the highest fan setting, and my windows are clear so fast you can see the fog disappearing!

Just a tip for those with A/C who didn't know this. And there are a lot of people who think the air conditioner is only for hot weather...

It happens to my CRX, im pretty sure its because i have a leak through the hatch struts and that water fogs up the inside. Fix the leaks, if applicable.

they also have chemical solutions that aid the windows in resisting fog. you can get them at your local autozone/pep boys. just put on the inside of the window and forget about it. its worth a try.

my crx does the same thing, i tryed gettting that anti-fog stuff from autozone, and it didnt really help for me all that much, it did make a little difference tho, but other people probably have had better experience with it, so maybe you should try it

I have this exact problem and I hate it. I go in to somewhere for twenty five minutes and my windows are completely fogged. Mean while I look around at other cars (that have been there long before I got there) and those people's windows are crystal clear. Grr!

How can you combat this? The leak that is.

I'm trying to figure out where the water is coming from (its been raining here in Corpus for 3 days now). once you find the leak, put some silicon or something in there. Go to a hardware store, they should be able to tell you what will work.
