Why do 4Runner windows fog up so much?

I don't know how many of you roll topless on you 1st gens often, but I always do and every morning there is so much dew on the inside of the windshield I can't see anything!

Not just you 1st Gens, But the Custom Chopped 2nd Gens too.


Rain X on the OutSide of the Windows, Fog X on the inside has GREATLY helped me. Make sure to clean the windows very well first. and dont use the wipes they suck, get the stuff in the bottle.

I think it is also that first gens are not as air tight as newer cars and trucks

I drive with the rear window down almost all the time unless it is raining very hard and I have noticed that the air draws from the back out to the front windows
I roll up all my windows while driving on dusty roads or my dash will be covered with a inch of dust.
and don't use armor all on the dash it leaves a greasy residue on the window on hot days and is very hard to clean off..

Ammonia based window cleaners like Windex can actually attract water vapor to the glass. It does clean the grease off well but it also leaves a residue of ammonia on the glass. Thinking I was imagining the condensation problem becoming worse after Windexing, I actually went through and wiped the ammonia off half the windshield with a damp towel. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy thinking the condensation got worse after the Windex cleaning.
