Default Problem with fogging windows

Jesus Christ integras suck for window fogging. I don't know if it is integras as a whole or just mine but as soon as the weather started to fall below 75 they fog like hell. Any fix for this? I can't drive around with my heat blasting all the damn time or the A/C.

My problem is my heat works then 5 minutes later ice cold, then 5 minutes later boiling hot, thne ice cold... No idea what the problem is... And if leaks from my glove compartment... I'm just going to take my dash off next day off.

ehhhh..... all of you are describing something....that definitely needs to be looked at in terms of "leakage" or the temperature of the air coming in. My heater works fine no matter if I'm recirculating the air or if I'm pulling it in from the outside.
As far as the fogging goes....that's a normal thing that happens on every car. You probably don't notice it until you start driving anyway. And I'm sure you've overlooked that its the simple fact the some if not most of the moisture is coming from your breath ( believe it or not )

This is gonna sound stupid, but I tested that out one day by holding my breath while driving down a few blocks. After that, I drove like I usually do ( breathing wise ), let the windows fog up a bit. Turned off the defroster and tried it again. Yep....its your breath

If its during cold weather, that's normal, happened on every honda I've ever owned. To combat it though.... I use this stuff:

put your mouse on products, move it to windshield treatments, click....then click on anti-fog.

Of course, you'd have to clean your windshield first before applying it.

i have the same damn fogging problem. sometimes cracking the windows will help; other times it does nothing. sometimes its so damn cold that i have to constantly switch between heatvent and windshield.

but my heat doesnt get as hot as it used to though. last winter it would get so hot that i couldnt hold my hand in front of the vent for more than a few seconds lol.
