Windshield fogging up all the time

And that was always suspect in the back of my mind but I didn't want to sound silly!

 

Just glad I could help!

 

It sounds like you might have a crack in the windshield or a bad seal somewhere around the perimeter of the glass if it's that bad. Make sure to check below the cowl as it covers a portion of the glass you cannot see. Alternatively try setting the temp in between hot and cold and run the blower fan on full blast fresh air with the front windows cracked.

 

Fogs like dis?

 

This sounds like something worth checking into. I had my windshield replaces some time back. However I can't recall if this is when the issue started, but I honestly don't recall having issues with fogging when the truck was new.

I wish it was like that, its higher up for me and alot more.

 

I just went and started my truck AC on high because its freaking hot here came inside to write this, about to walk out to take the pic. My truck is under the carport, the temp is 84.6 feels like 97, humidiy is 82%.

 

I used to get that look a month or so after putting Rain-X on my windshield.

 

I only clean my glass with a mixture of vinegar and water. Normally this would aid in keeping your glass from fogging because the acid cleans the foreign substances from the glass.

 

Happens every time I run my AC. But as Turd Herding Jim says, it must be because my truck is silver

 

Not sure when this thread became about glass cleaning, but since we are on that subject, I use strait up water. Very wet paper towel, right at dripping point, wipe off glass, than dry with a dry paper towel. I never fog up, and crystal clear, even though I don't think that is OP's problem.

 

Aside from Silver, which everyone knows is the worst color for this problem,
I think you have a diverter motor or diverter door issue, and maybe a film from something on the glass.

I have to keep my glass on the inside squeeky clean, the foggy look drives me nuts. By the way, is your fog on the inside of the glass? GA humidity has nothing to do with fog on the inside of the glass.

The diverter door is under the glove box. If you drop the glove box down and operate the vent control, you should see the diverter operator go thru its cycles. Take a look and see if it appears to be operating thru its whole range of motion. If not, there is at least part of your problem. Keep your glass on the inside as clean as Pat Boone. You should see an improvement.

 

My truck looks like yours every morning. whoops, just read you don't use rainx so I don't know. Maybe it is pollen and stuff. Definately clean the wipers too. I always though it was from the RainX i use, but mine looks just like yours every morning for a few miles when I go to work, it is a PITA.

 

The fog is normally on the inside of the vehicle, same as in this picture. The inside of my whindshield is clean that nasty look in the picture is due to it being Love Bug Season! I normally clean the front of my truck every other day to help control the love bug stains. I'll look into the diverter door when I get a chance tomorrow.

 

most the time that this has happened is when i have windows down at night/evening, and the humidity is kinda high.

 

I thought this had to do with the smoking that occurs in my truck. Like a smoke film on the windshield.

 

I am having exactly the same problem. It’s not fogging up inside, the condensation is accumulating on the OUTSIDE (lower middle) of the windshield. Every single time the A/C is on this happens. It doesn’t happen in my ‘15 Acura MDX. And yes it hot and humid in Boston right now, but since this is only happening in my Tacoma, me thinks something is amiss.

 

Its humidity.

Only solution is to park your truck in an insulated garage.

I agree its Fing anoying but... can’t do much about it.

 

It’s not there when parked in my garage, it’s only there while driving/truck running with the AC on.

 

Mine does the same shit. I got so fedup I removed my entire windshield and I drive with a motorcycle helmet on. No more condensation

 

clean windshield outside with vinegar and newspaper, repeat again and then do inside
Then drive with AC on and set temp to be a bit warmer so outside wont fog up
