Winter weather windows?

Default Winter weather windows?

Now that the winter/rain season has come, what can one do to keep the moisture down on the inside of the car? So as it's raining and cold right now, it's just fogging up the inside of the windows. But as I've found, as soon as it starts freezing, the moisture ends up frosting the inside of the windows.



I can't park my Accent inside the garage because it's being taken up my wifes car.



I don't know what it is, but when I lived in an apartment last winter, there was no issue with this parking under the carport.



Maybe a car cover?

Run with the air conditioner on (yes, even if you are using the heater) to remove humidity from the air. Dry air can't condense & freeze water on your cold windows.

Without removing the humidity from the air, your defroster would only heat the air. Hot air can carry more water. More water, to condense on your windows. The a/c must run to remove water from the air, or it is not going to "defrost" the inside of your windows very well.
