How to Solve Fogging on the Outside of Car Windshield in Summer?
2 Answers
Solutions for fogging on the outside of car windshields in summer: 1. Open windows for airflow: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air convection inside the car. When the interior temperature approaches the outside temperature, the fog will dissipate. 2. Use air conditioning for defogging: Press the A/C button (which stands for air conditioning cooling), lower the temperature, activate the window defogging function, and set the fan speed to maximum. As the moisture on the window surface evaporates, the glass temperature will quickly drop, achieving the defogging effect. 3. Use defogging spray: The principle of defogging spray is to apply a protective film on the windshield by spraying a layer, which effectively prevents fogging.
This has happened to me several times! In summer, when the windshield fogs up on the outside, it's usually on rainy days or when the humidity is high. Turning on the air conditioning can solve the problem—just set the fan to the highest speed and press the windshield defogging button. At this point, the AC switch will automatically turn on. Blow air at the glass for about half a minute, and the fog will clear. The key is to make sure the air from the AC is cold enough to lower the glass surface temperature below the dew point, drying out the moisture before it condenses into droplets. If the fog is too heavy, you can turn on the recirculation mode for a few minutes to enhance dehumidification, then switch back to fresh air mode after the fog clears. Remember not to use the heater—it will only make the fog worse. Once the car is moving and the glass warms up, it’s less likely to fog up again.
