  Foggy interior glass.


What causes the interior fog/frost that doesn't allways want to go away with the defroster? Its worse on the rear windows. I bought some Rain-x interior fog wipes. I haven't used them yet since its so cold outside. Should I just use them or will they even work? Thanks.

I don't know the exact cause persay, but my windows seem to be worse when I let them get dirty on the inside. It seems like the dirt somehow attracts the cold and frost.

I had frost/ice on the inside of my windshield for the first time a week ago after a heavy rain and then a really cold night. Anyone else having frost on the inside? It may be common in the colder states, but maybe not in Mississippi.

Foggy Glass seems to be a Versa problem. I wonder if they have a differen't kind of glass or something.

It's all about ambient temperature really . inside the car it will normally be 2 to 5 degrees warmer, add a warm human body and there ya go Even running a cooler temp out of the vents should help.

Breathing inside will cause the windows to fog up, due to the moisture. Warm air tends to have more moisture than cold air.

Just flip the climate control on window defog with the a/c on and that will do the trick.

As some have alerady stated, if they start to fog turn the climate control to the cooler temp along w/ hitting the A/C button when you have it set to defrost.

Sometimes I'll either crack a window open a bit, or pop the sunroof up and the fresh air helps to eliminate the fogginess.

Every car does this.. it used to happen in my Scion xB all the time.

Anyways when this happens you have 3 options:
1: Crack your window a TINY bit.
2: Turn your defrost on (hot or cool)
3: Both 1 & 2 :P

I've noticed that mine is worse when the inside of the windshield is dirty too. Odd, I can't think of the possible correlation.

From my experience, this is a unique to the Versa.

Yes, it's true as some have stated all cars do this but usually it's with a reason like damp carpet, a rain soaked coat, extra passengers or panting dogs but none of my previous vehicles (14 and counting) have ever demonstrated this for absolutely no reason like the Versa does.

I can't offer a solution as yet but I wonder if it may be realted to what sort of interior exhaust vents this car has. These are typically one way rubber flaps that many manufacturers tuck in behind the sides of rear bumper shrouds. You'll spot them easily if you ever see a vehicle partially disassembled at a body shop. Does anyone know what the Versa uses in this regard? Does it even have them? I've wondered this for another reason and that's the extra effort you need to close a door or the hatch when it's the only thing open. If a window or other door is open, it's very easy but with everything closed, it's another matter.

Maybe Versas can float like the original VW Beetles ;<))

another posibility may be the interior plastic/vinyl pieces "gassing out". the "new car smell" that many of us like is actually the scent of the interior plastics releasing chemicals that were used in their manufacture.

i could have an entirely dry car interior, but if i park in direct sunlight for a day, i end up with a slight haze on the interior glass, mostly the windshield.

i've had my V for over 2 years now and i still get that haze, as well as with other vehicles.

Funny you should mention out gassing as I was going to add a comment in my previous post about this Versa being the only vehicle I've owned that didn't demonstrate this.

Mind you, I've only had it for 5 months, but one of the conditions of the sale negotiation was that the dealer not use any sort of protectant on any interior surface in prepping the car for delivery, which they absolutely adhered to.

Why, you might ask? I learned many vehicles ago that once any sort of protectant is used in the interior, such as Armor-All and all of its competitors, your car will never get rid of the off gassing that makes your interior glass look like you have a 'two pack a day habit' when you don't even smoke, especially when left in the sun.

not every car does this.....only japanese cars for some reason. Domestic cars for some reason are built to handle our climate better, every japanese car i have ever owned fogged up in the winter, and every domestic car i have owned didn't. Not sure why this is, but I have come to realize if you want the reliability of a japanese designed car, you deal with the foggy windows in the winter.

Can't quite agree with it being a Japanese car thing. 12 of the 14 previous cars I've owned were Japanese and none did it quite like the Versa.
Still believe it's a design flaw related to insufficient interior passive ventlng as suggested previously. . . . .
