Default Fogging Issues in Honda's Interior

Noob to the Honda forum. Formally a Mazda forum member & now back in the hunt for an Si or Hatch. I owned Accord, and 2 Civics, then my Mazda, both of my Civic i owned were 95 and older, and every one of them had some serious interior window fogging problems. Im just curios if A) anyone found a way to resolve this issue or B) what year's did Honda themselves resolve the issue where the interior did not fog? Sorry if this is a re-post, tried searching everything and nothing came back! Thanks again peoples!!

Well, I had a problem with my windows fogging up when it cold outside. So i went to vatozone and bought some stuff, it is in a yellow bottle, that you rub on the glass so that the windows dont fog up. It is a small little yellow bottle. I just wiped the stuff on the windows, and the fogging on the windows went away.

Rain-X should be a black bottle but that may be for their exterior product. However, they also have a wipe that is saturated with the solution for one time use versus the bottle, but I seem to remember that in black also.

rainx anti fog works for a while, but ifound out after its been used about 3 times on the window, when the sun hits it, there is an annoying streaky glare that just will not ever ever come off.

Rain X Anti Fog Ruins windows used it on my sisters car for 3 years, And it deteriorated the laminate protector on the inside of the window.. So it would constantly have haze on it. My advice, use rubbing alcohol on your window instead. It will keep then from fogging up and works as long as Rain X would work.

Uhmmm, honda isn't god. It's called nature. Windows WILL fog in certain conditions. Unless you have AC in your car you really can't do **** about it other than turn your blower on high and wait for the stuff to dry up or keep paper towels in your car and get busy wiping.

Try breathing on your window during winter does it fog THIS CANT BE ELIMINATED ASSHAT ITS CALLED CONDENSATION! Turn on your ac or fresh air control, And be patient or how about I fix the whole problem for you all together and take out your damn windshield!!!
