Alright, I don't have a defroster in my car (no ac), but even with the windows down, I can't see **** when it rains. It's extremely frustrating. Everything is uber blurry. What do you guys with no ac do in the rain? Anyone else have this problem? Could it be I need new wipers or something? It's really frustrating, and borderline dangerous. I can't really drive my car in the rain much, but obviously you can't tell god to just make it stop when you have to go somewhere.

new wiper blades would probably help... plust get some rain-x . the stuff works wounders.. i use to use it all the time when the wipers on my seven were not working.

a/c isn't used when defrosting....warm/hot works for defrosting.

i find a/c works 100 times better for defrosting than heat

Either works, you're just trying to get the moisture out of the air around the windshield.

Slow your breathing way down and take shallow breaths until you fix your defroster fan....

yeah not much blows from under the window. how hard would it be to fix, and what parts would i need?
thx

Parts are not the problem...the blower fan is sitting right at the passenger's feet....running down the circuit where the problem is, is something completely different. Check fuses first, don't assume they're good because they look good, use a test light to verify flow, then it's time to break out the Haynes manual for some fun,,,,

also from the makers of rain-x there's fog-x. try that. it's worked really well for me. my wipers dont even work! AAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAh gotta love it

jimtesla

Dont drive in the rain.............

Windshield stays real clear and no fog problems..........

jimmyrose99

hahahahaha or u could try that
i gotta get me some of that rain x, keep forgetting though

New wipers, rain-x, and the rain-x anti fog.

Rain X is the best thing I have ever used. . . I swear by it!
A/C is the better option, especially if you live in the tropics! Who wants to apply HEAT into their car in those muggy rainy (thus fogging up screen) evenings? Sometimes even a minute or less A/C clears it right up.
nice comment Mar3 - breathe less etc - LOL!!!

When you use your defroster make sure your not recycling the air. Like NimrodTT said you're trying to remove the moisture from the air. So when you recyle the air, although it may blow faster, the moisture still remains in your car. Make sure your sucking fresh air inside. It will drastically defrost your windows much faster.

I met a guy who was selling a beat up maraih conversion and he had vent visors on the windows........

He said they worked great when it rained.......no water in and windows stayed clear........They also looked really good on the car......

They dont make these for our cars anymore......

Rainx and Fogx are now on the car. Hope it works welllll. I'm going to get new wiper blades soon, too. Thanks for the help guys, I never even knew fog-x existed.
