Window de-fog......again

My Cobalts' defrost IS THE *****! Its gotta be on full bore heat and to the window just to keep up. GM's have always had pretty good systems that way so it suprises me. Maby the windshield is too steep or something.........but it still sucks.

Use the Rain-X anti-fog stuff from Wal-Mart. It works pretty good for me. Also, just take a rag and wipe the windshield on the inside. Even when it looks clean, it has this layer of dust like stuff on it that makes it fog.

I'll give it a try. It's a little colder up here but our humidity is sky-high like Floridas' so maby it will help.

Yea. It got up to 86 today where I live, but, humidity is pretty bad, so, when it does drop for that week in January, I see what the whole fog thing can be.

Sorry... I bet it would really hurt to hear that I spent my day on my Jetski and went to the beach in the afternoon.

YUP! I just took off my belt, removed my shoe laces and put them in a safe place.
I'll make it through another winter somehow

Not bad at all up here (I'm just whining). I now live in the warmest part of Canada just North of Seattle. The rain however, gets to a person after awhile.
Missouri? I haven't been there since I was a kid. When I was a member of the Canadian forces, I trained and took part in some war games at Fort Bragg.........that was heaven!!
Warm and toasty........the girls too

I could imagine the rain getting to you. During the summer around here it rains pretty much everyday.. But, its not too bad because it is only for about an hour or so. I will say, when it rains, you seek cover, because the lightning here is crazy.

When the lightning hits, I run to an open field and hold-up a 1 IRON.

Even GOD can't hit one

Have a good one.

This is sort of related. Whenever my door windows get foggy (almost every morning) I see a circle with 4 smaller dots inside of it. I've cleaned the window numerous times but they keep coming back. It's in the exact same spot on both sides. I'm thinking it might be some form of suction cup mark that was used to install the glass at the factor but I really don't know. Anyone else experience this?

Are your windows tinted and are you looking through them with polarized glasses. If not... I have no idea. Lol. Sorry

Nope. Know how like when you rub your hand across a foggy window, and the next time it's foggy you can see it all smudged? It's exactly like that but a perfect circle.

Hmm... That sounds really weird. When you run your hand over it, is it smooth there, or bumpy, like a depression? Maybe it is for structural stability, like in an accident.
