i have been noticing that the front windscreen in coldish temps at night (18 degrees and under) rain or no rain seems to fog up then i have to put the aircon on cold to clear the fog . any ideas on what causes this and how i can stop it happening

Re: foggy windscreen

I get this too. I just assumed it was because I was a slack (insert your favourite word) and never clean the thing...sorry, no ideas why it does it or how to fix it.

Rain-X make a product called Anti-Fog. I've used it on several cars with no issues

Re: foggy windscreen

had the same in my 2005 GXL turn out to be a small stone chip letting in cold air , it eventually cracked halfway up the windscreen... replaced the windsreen problem gone.

Re: foggy windscreen

Just taking a stab in the dark but do you have the airflow set to recirculate?

Re: foggy windscreen

I find if I haven't cleaned it recently it seems to fog up more often.

I use a moist chamios to clean the inside of the windows, and get a couple of months of fog free driving.

The misses car is very bad for it (she doesn't seem to notice though), probably because she never cleans it, and I rather be sending my time in the Prado..

Re: foggy windscreen

Read recently about using chalkboard eraser, and have meant to buy one to try , but not done so yet.

Googled and came up with this link

They are very cheap so worth a try.
