Fogged windows

Does anyone else have problems with there windows fogging up more than normal? Especially when it rains. Best way for me to defog them is by turning on the AC, but winter is coming and I don’t want to freeze in my car lol. I just changed to Cabin Filter last week. Is this normal?

I have the same thing happenign to me the cabin. I dont like having to turn on and off the AC multiple times to keep the fog away. Anyone got any solutions? The weathers been terrible lately in the tri-state area.

You're missing the whole point of "Climate Control". When it's set on "auto" all you have to do is change the temperature, and the system adjusts to keep the temperature & fan speed at the predetermined level. This system uses the air conditioner to dehumidify the car, but it's constantly adding heat to keep the proper temperature. The fogging you're getting is due to the high humidity.

I do change it, when I put the heat higher the fogged windows stay, but when I turn it down to cold it defogs the windows, never really used auto setting, will try that tomorrow thanks.

amf is right. Keep the AC on and just turn up the temperature.

Turn off the re-circ button to let outside air in.
