windows fogging up?

Ok so i have a 03 and i have 2 buddies with 03's and all 3 of them seem to have a problem with the windows fogging up (btw its snowy and cold here)...

Ive tried rain-x and a few other things but the problem will not go away....

Is there a cure for this out there?

THANKS
JASON

if I remember right, if you have the heater settings on one of the defrost settings, you cannot click the recirculate button. Dummy proof for the win. That said, if it's cool and there is unusually high humidity, then you can still have issues. Turn the fan up to full speed to pull in the maximum fresh air. If it's happening when you have the back seat full of buddies (and not the female type ) then tell them to stop breathing or get out.

forgot one tip...try to minimize the amount of snow that you track into your car...that reduces the amount of water in the air (humidity) inside the car which reduces the fogging.

^^ Also make sure your intake is clear of any major snow.. when it gets sucked in.. instant moisture put through the heating.. and therefor onto the windows.. had that really bad when i drove the honda

If you have it on defrost the a/c is automatically on. Its helps pull the moisture out of the air quicker. Perhaps the refridgerant is low.
