interior fog?

[munjah]

hey all, sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but im getting a little worried..where im from its winter/colder now and ive noticed latelly the inside of my windows fog up pretty fast compared to the other cars my family has.. i dont know if it has something to do with my heat settings, a bad seal..or is it normal? maybe im just being paranoid..any advice would be appreciated! thanks!

My front windshield the inside gets cndensation i think bad seal. I can feel the cold when im driving with air and heat off

Inside of window clean? Mine is somewhat dirty since I've gotten the car and you can see where the people who did the PDI cleaned the inside (even though I told them not to...), but I forget to keep cleaning it myself. Though you can only see it when it gets foggy. Normal day to day driving you won't see it.

Do you mean all the time? The front window defroster clicks on the A/C and should dry up the windscreen right away. If the humidity in the air is high I don't see this as unusual. If this happens all the time and you may also have a bad smell (the car, not you), you may have a clogged A/C drain. Also, maybe 5 minutes before you turn the car off, turn off the A/C to stop moisture from staying in the system overnight. None of this may help, but it's worth a shot.

Hmmmm not sure if I can feel any air..I mean is it normal for it to even be foggy. Inside?

I hate cleaning windows!!! But yeah pretty clean I guess..im just worried that fog/moisture can turn to ice! Then again if the car isn't absolutely freezing in the morning guess its not a leak or anything...I hope

Hmmm this makes a lot of sense..it doesn't fog all the time just when I leave it for a few hours and overnight... I'll try shutting of the defroster (which uses a/c) before I park the car..makes a lot of sense cause I always leave it in feet/front windshield mode..
Oh and no weird smells from me and the car hopefully...


Thanks for the help so far everyone!

You don't have the recirculate button pushed in do you?

In addition, always have the fan in on operating position.
The FR-S cabin holds less air and the windshield is closer to your exhalation. Try directing your breaths away from the windshield.

You're not the only one, all my windows tend to fog up. It's only been like this ever since the weather for colder here in Vancouver.

I think FRiSson has the right idea, this car's cabin is much smaller than anything I've been in before so your body heat and breath is gonna fog up windows a lot quicker while the car is still cold.

That and yes I don't think the car is as well insulated as what we're use to, remember the entire roof is paper thin!

I do however have streaks on my rear glass from the dealer as well.. at first it was a circle (suction cup maybe?) and I wiped it off and turned it into a streak.. it'll have to wait until summer I suppose...
