Im all fogged up.....

Hey

Im a newbie...driving in the rain....in my first gen for the first time.......and the car fogs up big time........

The only way I can get some relief is to assist with the AC unit.....

Is there a trick..........or a proven method to regulate clear windows?

P.S. my AC Compressor is shot.......does not put out and makes noise......and i am missing a tab in the rear for my defroster........

So I reallly need help......

Thanks

Jim

You could try that Rain X Anti-fog stuff. I used it on my motorcycle helmet faceshield. It worked pretty well.

Does your windshield defroster not work?

I have heard of ppl soldering the tab back on for their rear defroster, but good luck... it seems to work about 25% of the time.

For your rear defroster. Get out your handy 40watt or 35 watt soldering iron and some solder and in about 10secs you'll have a rear defroster back...
I snapped one off years ago and that worked like a charm.

If you don't have a spare tab, try bending a wire crimp after taking the plastic off the crimp end. Should work.
