The windows in your car may fog up when there is condensation. This can happen in very cold climates and hot, humid climates. If it is cold outside, the condensation could be on the inside due to the people in the car exhaling or wearing damp or snowy clothes. If it is hot outside, the condensation might be on the outside because of the moisture in the air. Depending on your specific situation, there are two ways to defog your windows quickly.

Tips For Foggy Windows in Cold Weather

  • Lower The Inside Temperature
    This will probably be uncomfortable for you, but it is the fastest way to get rid of the fog. Crack open your windows, turn on the defrosters, and turn up the AC. To make this a little more comfortable for you, turn on your seat warmers if you have any.
  • Avoid Turning on The Heat
    Though it might be tempting to warm up your car when it's chilly outside, resist it! It won't help the fog go away any faster.
  • Keep Windows Clean
    Another way to clear up your windows is to make sure they are always clean. Then you will know that you're dealing with foggy windows and not just dirty ones. You can also purchase an anti-fog spray to apply to your windshield and windows that would reduce the chances of your windows fogging up.

Tips For Foggy Windows in Hot Weather

  • Use Your Windshield Wipers
    The quickest way to get rid of the fog is to use your windshield wipers. If you do this, it will likely keep coming back, so just keep using your windshield wipers. However, constantly having to use your windshield wipers might get a little annoying after a while.
  • Turn Off The AC
    For a longer lasting solution, try turning down the AC to the lowest setting. If the fog still doesn't go away, turn it off. Be warned, it will get very warm inside your car very quickly.
