[Shop-talk] extremely window fogging

I would also look at the possibility that you have moisture in the cab 
that needs to get out.  If you get in the car with snow or water on your 
boots, that moisture is trapped in there.

Here are some cheap, easy things to try.  First, clean the windshield 
inside very well.  Then, if you have access to a garage that you can park 
the car in over night, put it in there with the windows open (even better, 
leave the doors open if you can shut off the interior light.)  extra bonus 
is the garage is heated.  If you can't do that, try to find at least an 
over hang that you can park under and leave the windows at least slightly 
opened over night (provided no rain or snow is predicted.)

Check the floor boards, under the seats in the truck for any dampness or 
water.

When you do run the car, use the A/C and not the recirculate feature. 

BTW, does anyone smoke in the car?  The smoke can build up on the 
windsheild and make them fog up easier.

My DD is a 99 toyota solara. When it gets cold, the windows fog up 
extremely bad. The windscreen is almost impossible to keep clear with the 
blower on high and the heat maxed out. The blower seems to be running fine 
with great air movement. With these below zero temperatures, if I am on 
the road for over a half hour, the windscreen just about becomes fogged up 
to make it impossible to drive. 

I thought that maybe I had a heater core leak but the radiator is full and 
the overflow tank is only a little low under the cold line. Also, the 
windows are icey, not greasy as one would might expect with a heater core 
leak. 

So two questions: 

If it was a heater core leak, wouldn't it be plainly obvious by looking at 
the coolant levels? 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to combat this?

Thanks
