Default My fogged up EF. Please help!

I seem to have a fogging up problem with my EF. My defroster does work, but it only unfogs the windshield and 1/4 of the front windows. I was wondering if anyone has this problem, if so how did you guys fix it? Please any help would be greatly apprecatied.

go to a auto store and buy rainx or sumthin like that. you wipe it on your windows and it prevents fogging. really works too. good luck

i used fog x for a while. it works really well if u keep applying it, but if u dont it sort of hazes up, making things worse but not as bad as just fogged up windows. i havent applied anymore for a month or so now, but then again its summer in california, so no worries.

I used that rain x fog stuff, and it didn't seem to work. It still fogs up almost just as much. It only fogges up when my car is wet, even if i just wash it, with no one inside. I dunno, but it almost made me have a wreck. Any other suggestion on how to fix this, or what could be causing it?

open your window 2 cranks, blast your heat to keep you warm, and in about 30 secodns all your windows are clean. too bad it only last like 4 minutes lol. i normally cruise around inthe winter with my window just cracked a little so that cold air can run its bay along thru the back of the car. it helps.

Exactly what I do, I just don't like the idea of doing this EVERY four minutes. I would like an inbetween solution and hell, I am in Florida. Stupid cold CFL winter thingy.....

go to the hardware store and get "damprid"... close up the car with it in.... it will take all the moisture out of the air, somewhere you are holding water inside thats continuing to resettle.

ummm i guess i'll throw in my two cents.....

We always used alittle bit of shampoo on a dry rag for goggles...so you could try that and it worked great.

Also what i do on my side mirrors because they fog up bad, is use body wax...it repeels the moisture so that there can't be the light condensation (AKA fog)
