secrets to stop condensation inside car on windows - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Anyone have any suggestions on stopping condensation build up on windows in my 300zx? I dont know if it was just tonight, since it was mad cold and rainy and humid as hell out, but i get to my car after work and every window in my car was totally fogged out with condensation.

i read it could be because of a heatercore leak? is that likely? my carpets arent wet... or maybe my seals are perfect? none of my windows leak when it rains, so i dont know. is there a product you can apply to the windows to prevent condensation buildup?

is this something that treats the glass for days or weeks at a time, or something you need to apply as the window fogs to stop it from fogging?

my cavalier has a water leak in the cowl somewhere, moisture gets under the carpet when it rains. The windows fog up all the time in that car and I don't have any problems with my other cars, so I figured its related to the moisture inside the car. Maybe you have a leak somewhere you aren't noticing?

I had the same problem last night, but my door was hit and alot of air can get into my car, it goes to get fixed on the 27th. It was bad lastnight i had to run the defroster full blast at the front.

they sell this stuff for paintball goggles that should work, though I don't think it's a long term solution

broski · 05-21-2008, 11:23 AM

yeah im just going to try rain-x and see how that goes

dubjinc · 05-21-2008, 11:23 AM

I think smoking in the car also causes it to fog worse, maybe they need to be cleaned aswell.

russiankid · 05-21-2008, 04:12 PM

Not sure how to prevent it, but turn the A/C on and put the setting onto defrost. I bet the fog will disappear in a split second. When I let my car sit over night outside, it is very humid in the morning and all of the windows are fogged on the outside. I just turn the A/C on and I am ready to go.

ok sounds weird but it works...get shaving cream...wipe it over the window...then wipe it off. it works for mirrors in the bathroom also...if u dont believe me next time u take a shower put some on and wipe it off before you shower..when u get out there will be no steam over it.
