Default Windows icing up

In the morning when I get ready all of my windows are crystallized on the inside. How can I stop this from happening? It is so annoying trying to drive while looking out a 3x3 inch square....

Heet makes some type of window spray that you can spray on your windows before you drive off. I use it quite often, prevents refreeze a well.

Cool, I'll check it out. I just want something so I don't have to do it everyday...

You have moisture in the cab? Wet carpets, water in the cab from a leak? Leave a window cracked open to allow the moisture to escape.

EDIT to Add: Your outside air door may be stuck shut which doesn't allow fresh air in. This will load the cabin air with moisture from breathing. Also turning the selector to OFF will shut the door.

Yup, ice crystals on the inside means you've got water intrusion problems.

My '73 Super Beetle did this (Sunroof leak) and my '78 E-150 (which leaked everywhere).

I really hope you're exaggerating on the 3x3 bit...

Get rid if the ice and water and your windows should clear up.

Have u had ur windshield replaced? There's a good chance that they didn't completely seal the bottom and moistures getting in thru that. Most places will test it if u have had it done and have that problem.
