Front windshield fogging up?

Hey folks,

does anyone have a problem with the front windshield fogging up? I don't know if it's normal or just me? it actually fogs up inside the car not the outside..

Been having wide temperature swings in your area, but keeping the interior the same temp? Surely not, but maybe heater core leaking?

If you were running the a/c previous to the last shut down before the fogging, it could be because the evaporator coil is still wet. This blows himid air aginst a cold windscreen causing the formation of condensate. May try shutting the a/c compressor off several minutes before shutdown in an attempt to dry the coil.

I've had the same issue. In other vehicles, it seems the recirculate setting caused this. With my stang, it happens no matter what I do?

I've noticed this on my car as well. I've found that turning the heat up a bit seems to work.

My Mustang has not done this yet, but my '05 Crossfire, while in Dallas, did it all the time. Try using Rain-X (Anti-Fog) on the inside of the windshield. Worked for me.

not really... well my dealer just called me and said she thinks that its because whenever i turn on my A/C on i put in "Recirculating" mode and it cumulates air and...etc... so she said i should switch using "recirculating" and without it.. but even though i use "recirculating", i shouldn't get my windshield fog up? well, we'll see she said she'll call me tomorrow!
