Hey it seems every early morning my windows are the only one in the street what are fogged up pretty bad, mainly the front and rear window, why is this? what can i do to fix it please?
Thanks,
Dan

maybe you have a small leak somewhere and moisture is getting inside?

[accentstencil]

This is due to excessive moisture which could be due to a leaking heater core or a blocked air conditioning drain hose. the drain hose is above the transmission up near the engine, it is hard to see but it is more towards the passenger side if I recall correctly. Gently stick something up the hose to clear any blockage. Does the carpet feel wet around the console or floor?

mine used to do this, I put through some radiator flush and then some radiator stop leak. Since then it has stopped.

Before I did this I kept my windows really clean, which seemed to help but would get a small area in the middle of the windscreen that would have heavy condensation, particularly more noticeable in winter.

Has not happened since treating the radiator. I suspect I have a lim that is leaking, which will be unrelated to the misting up windows, and that is the primary reason I did the radiator.

Assuming there are no mechanical faults as mentioned above ^^^^, may I suggest how you clean them?

My mates car fogs up really bad, really quickly. Mostly because he doesn't clean the windows, nor does he use anything that might have an anti-fog in it. Obviously with the back window it's usually tinted, so you have to be careful. With the back just use a towel, try using Armour All Glass Cleaner and a clean towel, and give the front window a good clean - and keep them that way. Also ensure vents to the front window aren't open.

Ok thanks, if it is the heater core or blocked hose, how much would something like that cost to fix? i have bought the car 2 weeks ago should the heater core be leaking after 166000 k's? also i dont know about the carpet i havent felt it

A blocked overflow hose will cost nothing to unblock, you can do it yourself. A new heater core will cost a fortune so it is important to find out for sure what the problem is. If it turns out to be the heater core then adding "radiator stop leak" might fix it, but who knows for how long. I would start by checking the overflow pipe.
When you have the A/C on do you get water dripping from underneath the car around about the transmission area?

Hey, sorry for the late reply it has fogged up alot this morning so i checked the carpets and around the console and they are dry so what does that mean? just the front and rear windows have water all over them and its an ice colour but not actually ice, the side windows arent so bad but still have a bit
thanks

if ur heater core is leaking ur windows will fog up as soon as u put ur demisters on. after ur windows have cleared if u do this do they still fog up?

Sneaky early morning fun, maybe?

LOL.

But seriously I found mine much better once I gave them a massive clean, so none of the shit that seems to cover your windscreen that blinds you when the sun hits it.

stop rooting in it lol
