is there something i can use to repel condensation on my windshield?

Answer 1

if the condensation is on the inside of the vehicle, than yes there is...if the condensation is on the outside use rainex..for the inside you need to have the dealer install foam under the dash for the ventilation to the windshield...

Answer 2

If you are getting it really bad on the inside of the vehicle, then it might be caused by a bad heater core leaking. Check the right passenger side of the floor to see if it is wet, if so the core is leaking and making condensation inside the vehicle really bad. On the outside there is not much you can do without heating the glass somehow, or covering it with a piece of plastic sheeting or an old garbage bag at night. Also the idea someone has about rain-x is good for the outside too. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

First off, why are you getting condensation and when? Is it from cold air living in Alaska or does it appear when your driving the car? The first I can't help you with unless you're willing to move to Florida, but the later is a common sign of a bad heater core leaking which will cause your windshield to condensate inside the vehicle. You can usually smell anti-freeze if you're using it in the radiator. (Just water-no smell)
Another way to deal with it is using the heat setting in the air conditioning mode! That too helps considerably with condensation and fogging. Hard to cure a problem when you don't know the root cause. Like putting the cart before the horse!

Answer 4

Yes you can repel condesation from the windshield, it's called Rain X and it costs about $4.00 at Pep Boys. This product is for inside though they also have outside products as well.

Answer 5

I'm assuming you are asking about consdensate on the inside? The easiest fix I found was wetting a paper towel with Windex and wiping down the inside of the windshield with it. Do not dry it as you normally would.

Answer 6

I LOVE Rain-X....makes any water bead and run right off the windshield. Just spray on and then rub in circles with a papertowel...works for a few weeks (unless its really rainy) then just reapply as needed!

Answer 7

rain-x windshield treatment for outside and rain-x antifog for the inside
