The inside front window gets moisture in the winter. It doesn't matter whether the weather is wet or dry. I come out to the car at the end of the day or overnight and can't see out the window. The defroster or A/C doesn't help. Warm or cold air doesn't help. Opening the window doesn't help. Wiping the window with a cloth doesn't help. The interior of the car has not gotten wet from rain (as far as I know) unless it is coming up from beneath the car. Acura tells me this is normal. I have had several cars over the last 40 years, as has my husband, and not one of them has ever done this. This is my first Honda (and, given this problem, it will be my last). It is VERY dangerous as I cannot see to drive and is especially harrowing at night when lights are coming at me. Has ANYONE ever heard of this and, if so, what is the solution? Thanks.

 

Do you smell coolant? Your heater core might be leaking.

 

for 1 are you using the recirculate button or outside air? it needs to be on outside air. If not your windows will fog enough to creat moisture. 2nd have someone make sure all the drain holes are free from clogs, especially the evap area. this isnt something thats typical and shouldnt make it be the last time you buy a honda over. 3rd if its that bad bring it to the dealer.

 

this may and probably is a stupid ? but what is the quickest way to remove fog/moisture from the windshield?

 

wipe it off...

 

Also, a dirty windshield will pick up moisture and fog up a lot faster than a clean one. Clean it regularly.

 

never mind

 

Where are you? How cold is it? I have a '99 and not experienced this problem.
I'm in NW Ontario and we frequently get -30/-40f temps in Jan.

One thing I do with both of my cars...if I've been driving and the interior is nice and warm but I'm about to park it for an extended period of time...a couple of blocks before I get to my destination I turn fan OFF and roll back windows 1/2 down...trying to get hot air out of car before it's left to sit in the cold. I then leave windows down an inch or so if parking area allows.

Also, when driving in cold weather I use my windshield defrost a little as possible.
In cold weather I try to keep my windshield as cold as possibe.

Give these techniques a try, maybe they'll help.

Is the moisture always on the window even when you are driving or does it seem to dry up as you drive only to reappear once you let the car sit for awhile?
Very strange and certainly not normal if moisture (not frost right, water droplets) is on windshield all the time.
