Default foggin *** window????

I got to find something to clear up my front windshield. I love to drive with the windows open, all the time although with the heat lately, I haven't been doing it in the afternoons. So I look forward to my morning commute with the windows open. But the damn front windshield fogs up like crazy. This is on the inside that it fogs up, but it stays real streaky, and yes I can wipe it off, but its hard to reach across the truck to the passenger side to wipe while driving, and it just comes right back. Is there anything I can use to help prevent the damn fog and nastiness on the inside of my window?

Rain X makes some antifog for the inside of windows. You could look for some of that. I dont know if they still make it though. Also you can run your ac with whatever temperature you want. I heard that the ac will dry the air that is coming out of your vents.

Make sure you have your vents set to bring in air to cool it not just reciculate the air that's in the cab. That should help some.
My wife used to do this **** all the time in the winter which makes it fog up in about 10 seconds.

Yeah, well it will go away with the defroster on, it just seems stupid to drive with the windows open and the defroster on. I'll see if I can't do some looking and find some anti-fog stuff, just for testing at least.

The reason it doesn’t fog with the defroster on, is it runs the AC, which cools the air, causing the moisture in the air to condensate out of it and then it heats the air back up though the heater core and blows the dry, warm air on to the glass. You get the same affect with just the AC turned on and put the temp **** on what ever temp you want.
