Default Defrost Trouble

I've been having some problems trying to get my windows to defrost properly. The past few days, its been raining and when i run the defrost, the rear defrost fine. However the front defrost stops halfway up the windshield & the side windows get real foggy. I also notice water on the inside of my windows...Whats up?

The air conditioning system acts as a dryer. When the moist air crosses the evaperator it cools down below the dew point which causes the water in the air to condense and form droplets, deposit on the evaperator and proceed to drain out of the bottom.

You need to run your A/C and select warm when you are getting fog on the windows. Using fresh air instead of recirculated air improves this effect.
