Windshield Condensation

I agree with the all weather mats holding moisture as well.

 

If I notice water on my Husky Weather Beaters when I'm getting out of my truck, I take a paper towel and sop it up.

 

This is also something that occurs in some new home constructions, due to being so tightly sealed. They need to keep good ventilation out the roof, because if sealed up too tight, condensation will form.

 

well.... ifin I had that issue, I would be pullin sill plates, and rolling carpet back to MAKE SURE that there aint no wawa in the cabin fo-sho

 

wtf did eye dew? moisture on the inside of the windshield isnt normal

 

When I have people sit in the back seat the rear windows tend to fog up really bad when it's cold out, don't know why.

 

Someone needs to go back to science class lol.

 

Same reason you can "see" your breath when it is cold we exhale moisture. Windows in the rear fog up because there is no defrost vents back there.

 

I have owned toyotas since 1986 there is a button on the hvac controls thats called recirc if thats on in the winter time your windows will fog up on the inside the recirc button is for ac only try to shut that off and see if it helps . Also if the defrost is on it will be on but so is your ac to remove moisture from the cab .

 

Thanks man. I turned the re-circulation button off when cool weather arrived. My a/c compressor is not on at start up like it was on the colorado I traded off. Maybe they have the sensor set on a higher degrees setting. I am happy I don't have to reach up and shut it off everytime I turn the fan on though. Before getting out of the truck I turn the floor setting on the direction setting. This does not help though either.

The windshield does not have condensation on it everyday so I can deal with the every once in awhile. Always have a roll of paper towels in the glove box for such occasions.

 

I had never witnessed this phenomonomonom before until the other day. Wife and I got in the truck talking and I hit the wipers and we both said wtf? I instantly opened the sunshade to make sure the sunroof wasn't open. It wasn't. Got out of the truck and checked my Wife's car. She also has a Subaru Outback and it DID have condensation on the inside of the windshield but not as bad. I attribute this to weird fluctuating temps that don't normally happen. I will also try the moisture absorber under the seat.

 

Are you guys running the AC and defrost and not clicking the AC "off"

 

No.

 

So AC is on?

 

Negative. No green light so I figure the a/c must be off.

 

Turn the ac on. (Heat on as well of course). And fresh air. The ac evaporator helps pull moisture out of the air and drys it right up in seconds

 

The condensation in my truck that day was there before I started the truck.

 

I understand that. The Auto AC will clear this condensation faster than just blowing air at it

 

with the way the temps have fluctuated around here, 70 some degrees on 12/24, rained its ass off 12/25 and all the rain that we have had in the mid-atlantic, when Its cold out and I start my 07, and turn the defroster on, there is a fog on the inside for about 13 seconds, and about 3-4 inches off the dash, then gone, normal, and if I am standing in the rain and get into the truck, with the temp inside warmer than outside, as the cabin heat dehumidifies me, I might get a little steamy on the w/shield till im sorta dry. But I never have moisture on the inside of the w/shield. I had a F350 that I had a sunshade on and sat a lot, pulled the sunshade out to go somewhere, had moisture on the inside of the w/shield, water was seeping in thru the roof marker lights, resealed them all good

 

I wish I had a picture of what I had. The entire inside of the windshield was covered in drops of water just large enough to not slide down the glass. It took a bunch of paper towels to mop it up. I don't think the A/C would have removed it.
