    Could someone tell why each time I drive my car, the windows fog up in wet or dry weather? WHen I turn on the air conditioning it goes away but will get foggy again if i turn off the a/c. What can I do to stop this? What is the cause of it? I have another car that doesnt do this at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your car has poor ventilation ..the moisture from your breath / damp clothes / wet shoes condensates on the cold glass.

    Air conditioning also removes moisture from the air, that's why it stops the condensation

    You may have a leak through windscreen or door seals. Is there any sign of dampness e.g. damp carpets?

    you might have your air intake switch set to recirculate air rather than to take in fresh air, my windows get foggy if its set this way. I usually do this if i'm driving through dust etc in the summer and forget to change it back.

    The seats would be freezing in cold weather, thats all really, I havent seen any signs of leaking in the car yet but I could be prooved wrong as time goes on. Windows always steam up no matter what.
