Re: Windshield Fogging more than other cars: Yes or No (Flip-Side)

My car won't clean the windshield if it's freezing rain, or very cold, on defrost full hot, full speed, AC DON"T work below about 5 degrees above freezing so it can't help. It seems like the spread on the glass is not real good, it only puts air in two spots instead of the whole windsheild........

My 09 does this since I had to remove my floor mat, the carpet is soaking up all of the snow/water off your boots now, they might end up replacing my carpet when it's all done when they finally fix the recall problem
