Default Window fog ?????

my wifes 96 accord always fogs up when it rains & no matter how we adjust the temp it just gets worse, I even tried rainx.
I was watching a circut race on tv & they said something about useing dish washing soap to get rid of the fog, Has anybody tried this b4?

I have exaclty the same problem. no matter what temperature setting i adjust the temperature dial, it just always fogs up. the only way i can clear the fog is with my A/C. anyone has any ideas of what might be wrong or how to fix this?

Have you been beaten lately? the A/C is one of the many remedies that you can use to clear up fog on our windshield, see, the trick is to get the temperature on your windshield to be the same inside and out, and if that doesnt work, you can do what they used to do in the generation 1 accords, have a rag handy somewhere and clean it manually, cause if you dont, you'll crash, use the wax on, wax off motions...

Also make sure if you use the a/c to put it to 'recirculate' instead of fresh. That will keep it from sucking in more humid air, plus the a/c works better on REC anyways.

Turning on the a/c always works for me. It rains all the time down here in the summer, and my windows fog up like mad if I don't turn the a/c on. Clears them up completely in about 15-20 seconds

try using fresh air instead of recurculate on your dash controls.
