    Ok for the past week when i get off work i can not for the life of me get the fog off my front window. Defroster does not clear it . heat, or cold. The only thing that clears it is running the wipers. even when i open the windows to make the inside match outside temp does not help.

    Tonight i got so pissed off because i had to pull over because i could not see i hit my window and it cracked.

    What the hell am i missing.

    Hmmm... check Auto Zone/O' Reilly's/Advanced Auto and see if they have something you can spray on the window to help keep it from fogging up.

    Really? Never heard of that, must be a local thing. All the ones we replace just go right into the dumpster.

    Good stuff for sure. You should try Binswanger Glass cleaner sometime if you have a location near you. Frigging amazing stuff and I'm not just telling you that because I work for Binswanger. We have cleaning companies come in and buy it by the case. It really is the best I have ever used and completely safe for any surface such as window tint.

    My 07 does that in the morning, i turn on the defrost on recirc and have the windows open, once the engine temp is on the rise I turn it to completely hot and it disappears very quickly.

    If defrost wont clear it the pneumatic hoses under the passenger dash could be loose or not on. Therefore not allowing the doors in the hvac system to open and close in order to properly direct the air to the windshield.

    Just a thought.

    Anyone know how to remove scratches from a windshield?

    you can get stoners at autozone, in the detail section, newspaper doesnt leave any streaks, and it soaks up all the dirt adn cleaner.
