Here is another for the quick tip series. It rained this week and I thought I would do this short video on how to defog your windows perhaps more efficiently. The video says it all here so I’m going to keep this short.

Stay dirty
ETCG
Not gonna lie, I forgot to click the a.c. thanks for the simple reminder lol
10 years to the date babbbyyyy
There is no me without you…if you have any questions feel free to ask or email me! Thanks
the a c comes on defrost automatically
I"m all fogged up, stay dirty man.
🙁 I dont have AC
What if u don't have a defrost at all
Eric,, thanks for videos. Hey, when I turn my defrost on, it blows out the AC vents, no defrosted windshield, I’ve tried in ever mode(hot,cold,ac on) it doesn’t blow out the defrost vents. 2005 Honda Pilot,,, any insight??????
they still dont clear up fast at all…..
But what if your car doesn't have air con?
oh so you are supposed to use ac for effective defogging
I have never knew this until I driving n the rain in the 2004 Isuzu ascender and I turn on the defrost and immediately the ac kicked on (cannot run defrost without it)
I thought that was absurd however it did a great job on clearing the windshield instantly
So yeah it was just last year that I discovered this
Good to know!!!!
what kind of car was that
Also make sure the window is clean clean. Do not use that dirty sponge or cloth you have laying around! Instead use proper window cleaning tools and window cleaner.
Good info right to the point
I found another solution to keep you windows from fogging up unfortunately it doesn't affect the windshield but in the bottom of the doors there are two clips some may have molding on top but under the clips there are holes that clog up very often so take those little clips out and spray the fire out of it with compressed air and you will be amazed how much junk will come out and how much better your windows will look only downside like I said is that it doesn't do anything for your windshield and you have to it about once a week
how about with no ac?
because you're in the car breathing you moron… smfh
my a/c doeasnt work. i wash my windows with shaving cream. prevents the fog and costs less than the no fog stuff at wal mart.
It's been years, you should tell us how you fogged your windows lol
My guess is that video is shot in the Odessey. And it should turn a/c on by itself for defogger setting.. As far as I remember
I have that Harbor Freight tarp, as well…
Never had any issue with defogging my windshield on cool rainy days but just as I was dropping my kid off at school it seems the defogging setting stopped working, I couldn't see out unless I wiped my hand on the windshield, changing temp settings didn't help whether in cold or heat, never had this problem… Air was coming out the dash vents and the temp changed accordingly to the setting but just stop defogging, is something broke?
I do it all the time
My A/C definitely works, but this doesn't work for mine. Time to try the shaving cream. Thanks though, I guess.
I'm sitting in my car right now and I just did that it definitely did not work thank you though
Clever and simple, thanks.
Both my dad's '97 CRV and my '09 WRX do this automatically.
Air flow should be, internal circulation or external?
For those who doesn't have AC so then if u have shave gel apply it on ur windshield after u clean it nicely then buff up little bit until u don't see any streak. Enjoy ur clear windshield
Thanks for the video.
When I turn my a/c on my belt starts to squeak. I changed it a few days ago. Could it be my pulley or a/c pulley.? I have a 99 eclipse gs
Older GM cars also did this automatically, as they did not have a separate AC button, or Recirculate button. "Max AC" turned on the compressor and closed the intake vents. Defrost would turn on the AC and direct the air up to the windshield. I never saw a car with separate AC and Recirculate settings until my parents got their first import car, a Toyota Camry in 1989.
That's FOGGED UP! XD
Some "fancy" cars do this automatically…
looks at my Cavalier
LOL
Good vid as always, Eric! 😀
idiot ur a big idiot all about ac idiocracy ….how about compsumption
my toyota 1983 didnt come with ac or blower what can i do to clear up fog in rain
so those iof us that dont have air con are screwed ….lol , isnt there any anti fogging methods out there
Fancy cars do this? Nice to know my 98 Corolla CE is fancy 😀
lol what if you have no a/c "well i guess you're screwed"
What is the difference between defrost and defog? Is there a difference? Does your tip in this video work for when the car windows get icy?
I thought the AC came on with the defroster
I unplug the ac trigger wire in winter so when I do use the window setting front windshield it will only turn on the compressor fan and the cooling fan so it will not wear out the compressor faster and yes also plug it back in time to time to make sure the compressor stays lubricated from being unplugged in winter (:
I still dont understand all the AC buttons
I did this last night after work.. it rained all day and i had accidentally left a window down.. well when i got out of work, i rolled the windows up finally and was all foggy. No visibility.. turned on the AC and i could see again lol.
ive had my car for ages and i was NEVER sure of what i should do with the fog. i found out through trial and error that the AC does something, but its nice to be confirmed 🙂 THANKS!
I thought every single person knew this already. Must be an american thing.
haha for reason I kept hearing "fuc*ed" up …. lol Useful tip!
my car dont have AC, just fans
Yeah, I'd have to say that in most modern cars, the compressor will kick on once the defroster is selected.
