My Car Windows Are Fogged As Hell EVERYDAY!

Alright, these days, my car windows (all of them) are fogged up everyday. It's so bad, I can't even see the front, I wiped and turned the air conditioning of the front window to the max and it will not go away. I can't see anything.

I see the cars around me and they don't have that problem. What is wrong with my Civic?

Nah, but seriously, I heard from somewhere on these forums that there's some fumes on the dashboard that fog up the windows. It's supposed to go away in 7-10 months... Can anyone back me up here?

I agree. I had the same problem with the Automatic I had. But my 5 speed I havent had any probs. I guess I was just lucky with this one.

my dealer cleaned my windows, and when they did, they must have used an oily rag or something[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] because i had a bad film, that was ten times worse when my windows were fogged up. i used a 50/50 solution of water and vinager to get rid of the film and now the windows are fine and dandy.

Yeah do you have a leak somewhere? I would take it to honda. But if its just fog from the plastic then just wipe your windows once in awhile my car still has that problem

This is what I do. Put Rain X on the inside windshield of your car. It will stop it from fogging up. Rain X is the same stuff that you use on the outside windshield of your car to make rain fly off the glass so you dont even have to use your windshield wipers........its really very cool

PS. I also use Rain X on my bathroom mirror so when I get out of the shower the mirror isn't all fogged up.

Alright, I did two things

1. Inside my car was wet, no flood or nothing, but I wiped the windows with a towel which was wet to get rid of the fog, so I ventilated and wiped clean with a dry towel.

2. I went and got RainX, applied it just 10 minutes ago.

I hope this works. Thanks guys!

Yeah i know everytime i wake up in the morning it fogs outside after i wipe the condensation. I go up hill to school so I couldnt see a thing in front of me cuz of the fog and the sun which made it worse. It was so dangerous I had to stick my head outside the window to see.
