Condensation on the inside of windshield
Condensation on the inside of windshield
Like everyone else in the country its hot as hell here in the metro Detroit area. The past couple days while having the A/C on the windshield has been getting condensation build up and I don't know. This is the first car I've ever owned that does this and on a somewhat related note, when I got to top off my tank today, my glasses fogged up immediately after getting out of the Crossfire, crazy! Any help here guys would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Condensation on the inside of windshield
LOL. My family considers me radioactive in the morning. When I get up in the morning my body exhausts so much heat you can feel it just standing next to me. When I get in my car in the fall/winter/spring all my window's fog up. It's actually rather funny.

Re: Condensation on the inside of windshield
mine does the same when it is sooo hot out. sometimes i need to hit the wipers to remove it (exterior condensation). mainly happens when the car is sitting still and the a/c is on (w/ high humidity). i tend to leave my car running while parked... if i am running into a clients house for a quick pick up or drop off of paperwork, etc. i hate getting back into a hot car.

more importantly, was the condensation on the inside, the outside, or on both sides of your glasses? last time my glasses fogged up really bad i couldn't tell if i was tipping in dollar bills or twenties.

BTW, the condensation is on the outside, silly me!

You could also try turning the temperature up a bit. The HVAC in the Crossfire is pretty efficient so you don't have to set it on mega-freeze to cool the car off. I leave mine set on the white dot midway between hot and cold and I have never had a problem with condensation.

Also, I'm going to buy some RainX (interior) to coat the windows when the weather changes in the fall. This will also help with "fogging" issues. NOTE: this is not the same as regular RainX, which you use on the exterior side of the windows.

On the getting out and glasses fogging ... that's nothing new. Where I work they keep the A/C so cold I leave the office to go to the shop ... instant fog.
It's also a good thing when getting in the hot car to use the recirc and get the hot air out of the car, it aids the cooling and the interior isn't hot for long.
