    Yeah I remember my civic doing that (2000), unfortunately my new trucks don't do that but I wasn't sure if his murano would do it or not.

    I'll try the baking soda....my RSX fogs up like crazy and cracking a window or the defrost both work very slowly. I've been saving up those desiccant packets you get with various crap and was planning on hidin them everywhere but in a few weeks I've only collected 3.

    so been some pissy people about my trying SOOO here we go on the Revamp!!!

    Well, To add a second option on this fog situation; Just open your window all the way while your internal combustion engine warms up. Once there is some heat in the engine, Turn defrost on the high setting and shut window..


    So can people understand that this time?

    you can also try using rain-x spray on the inside of your windows. its normally for the outside and acts like wax to wick away water. however i should warn you, dont drive your car right after, you will be high as a kite (i speak from experience)

    I've never seen frost on the inside like that. How the hell do you get that much humidity in there? Do you have floor mats that are soaking wet or something?


    Neat trick with the baking soda though.

    Are you a larger overweight person, and/or do you have any symptoms to make your breathing heavier and/or faster then normal people? When the frosting happens is there more then just yourself in the car?

    with all the modern car alarms and immobilizers manufacturers are putting in theyre cars, thiefs are finding it harder to steal cars, so the easiest way to steal a car is find one with the keys in the ignition & preferably with the engine running, this is known as "frosting" here in scotland, in the criminal world. heres my tip, if your car is kept on a driveway close to the house, in the winter time when frost is expected, go out at night before bed and run an extension lead from the house into the car, get one of those small fan heaters and place it somewhere in the car a good distance from seats etc, (i put mine under the pedals and slide the drivers seat right back) giving at least 24-25 inches clearance. set fan to slow and heat to high. then when you get up in the morning all you have to do is flick a switch from inside the house then flick the kettle switch and 15 minutes later the windows are clear, the car is nice and warm and with no danger of the car being stolen. you will use less electric in 15 mins than you would petrol so also better for the environment. remember and keep a good distance between heater and flammable material and keep the socket side of the extension inside the car (away from heater).
    try it, and be safe.

    I remember reading/hearing somewhere that it was because of the moisture seals in new cars are good that they dont release as much humidity.
    The issue with interior frost is excess moisture inside the cab, most of which can be found in your floor mats.
    When your car starts to do this you need to dry the inside out. This can be hard during the really snowy days because you just keep tracking all that moisture in.

    Baking soda works because it is hygroscopic, meaning that it attracts moisture.
    Same principle in your fridge with smells, bacteria needs moisture to grow and its that bacteria that causes odors.
    Frost needs moisture to form, and its all that melted snow that you bring in with your feet that causes it.
    Baking soda takes out the moisture and prevents the bacteria/fungs, and the frost all in one swoop!

    In the future use rubber floor mats, and try to get as much snow off your shoes and self before you get into your car.

    The reason you had frost in the first place is due to moisture inside the car when you shut it off. If you run defrost with the AC all the time in the winter this problem will go away. The frost ifs just the moisture freezing to your windshield, maybe give it a try now that the baking soda has gotten rid of the moisture, also never switch to recirculate in the winter always fresh air .

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Ignoring the post dates, I get frost build up if I sleep in my truck some nights.. I often just pull over for a couple of hours now and then to sleep in the back, and it will ice up quite a bit.. Just gotta get more heat and air flow to clear it up.. Slept in the truck just a few nights ago, when it was -31..
