R32 Gtr Windscreen Fogging Issues

[Scottie]

Hi all i got my r32 gtr and it is near impossible to keep the front windscreen fog free. The demister works quiet well but the fogging is on the outside of the window and i do beleive it is the heat of the motor fogging up the screen is there a way to adjust the bonet to help reduce this or a automotive product to stop this. It is quiet annoying.

is it an oily film?

is it only fogging up if you have the demister on? if so, it may be that the aircon is the cause of the issue. if i drive for too long with the demister on on a cool night it actually starts to ice up the windscreen. solution is to turn the heater on and defrost it.

How would heat from the engine cause water vapour to condense on the windscreen? Surely it would help the condensed water to evaporate.

Keep the glass clean, then the water vapour has nothing to condense around.

[mad082]

on reason why it could be the heat from the engine is if the engine has a coolant leak and the heat is causing the coolant to boil and the resulting steam is fogging up wht windscreen. in which case, you might want to check the coolant level before you drive the car next to make sure that isn't happening

[Longz]

it only fogs up on really cold \ wet nights from the outside normal days its fine

[mad082]

if that is the case then it's the aircon

[gfunkk]

in some cases the heater-core (that has coolant running through it) (located behind the dash) can have a slow leak which puts too much moisture in the cabin

is there any other stuff in the cabin that would add moisture?

p.s. my car fogs up heaps, even this morning.. and i dont have any aircon

[mad082]

did it fog up the inside or outside?

also not having aircon can make the inside fog up in the wet, etc, especially if you have just had to run through rain to get into the car. the aircon pumps out dry air and so the moisture gets dispersed a bit as it mixes with the dry air. no aircon just pumps around moist air so the moisture just builds up
