Is there a way to stop the drivers side window, passenger side and the two rear windows from fogging up in raining weather? Its not very convenient to wind down the window when driving and neither is constantly wiping it with your hand.
The rears are important too because they are essentially your blind spot. So my question is, how do you deal with fogging up windows other than the front and rear (which most cars have demisters)? **MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD, ITS AN ACCIDENTAL DUPLICATE! |

Yes turn on your AC as the dehumidifier / dryer will stop fogging .

Check for water leaks or wet carpets, boot etc ?
Sounds like too much moisture in vehicle ?? As said.... Heater on high with A/C , fan on high...

I get this a lot with the QLD humidity when driving home at night. Something I found that worked well is get the Rain X exterior glass cleaner (in big yellow spray bottle) and clean the interior glass well with that.
I tried the fog X but it was too much of a stuff around to apply and ended up patchy, the rain x cleaner was easy.

The only solution I can offer is ..... grow old ... worked for me ... and now I can't get a woman in the back with me.
Seriously though you just need to run your AirCon simple as that. You will find sometimes that full cold will clear the windows quite quickly ... then you can reset it to your comfort level for a while ... then do another cold boost as required. Oh how wonderfull CC air con is! Set it on 22 and forget it LOL. PS. Oh, and don't use Fog X - useless stuff. Rain X ticks all the boxes though. |

OK will try the AC again, but I'm sure I've done it before... doesnt really help the sides.

My old car had demisters on the front side windows, as in it had air vents on the door aimed at the windows.

If you set the air flow to foot well and windscreen and leave it there then set the temp and fan speed to whatever is comfortable for the moment (with the A\C activated), the windows shouldn't get a chance to fog up in the first place. As soon as you jump in and start the car the A\C kicks in and puts dry air into the cabin and draws out any moisture before it becomes a problem. The only time my missus' wagon fogs up is if the A\C button or fan has been switched off. Bushbasher

try Fastwax on the inside of your windows. Helps with fogging. It won't work %100 and completely stop fogging up but is much better than normal
