Frost Inside Car Windows: Preventing & Removing Ice During Winter (Temp -15 Degrees)

Hello,
Winter came, snow fell and the temperature was below zero with it. If I wanted to go in the morning, it was enough to scoop the snow and scrape off the frost. Unfortunately, this night from (-15 degrees) frost appeared in the middle of the car on the windows. Have you ever had that too? What ideas do you have for this not to happen again? Maybe wash the windows with something to prevent them from freezing?

It is because there is too much moisture in the interior. The glass simply fogged up, and it froze in the cold. Rather, you have to think about the ventilation system, and more specifically the filter replacement.

Hello try to apply a desiccant good thing

Ventilate the car well before closing it.
You got moisture in the cabin. The question of poor circulation, wet rugs, maximum heating. When you "chase" the car in the evening, there should be no problems in the morning.

As the previous speaker wrote - the largest concentration of moisture in the car in winter are rugs. The snow that is applied during the drive dissolves the rugs, and then it has to evaporate somewhere on the windshield from the inside.
It is best to take them out in the evening, hang them in a warm place to dry, and in the morning to the car with them.
Harm will not hurt and will certainly help.

Replacing the filter at the beginning.
You put a regular newspaper on wet rugs, which will absorb some of the moisture from the rugs, and throw it away in the morning. You will get rid of some of the moisture from the car.

I watched on the turbo that in order to prevent the windows from fogging, they should be washed with a suitable agent and they tested various preparations, the best of which was a regular hair shampoo. But when it comes to frost on the windows, I don't know if it will help, it doesn't hurt to try.

Hello

Do your car windows steaming up strongly or is it just one time? a leaky heater may be a very small percentage of probability. Enter your car make and year.

Try to put paper newspapers under the rugs, they will dry the air a little.

I, like my colleague "norbis15", watched the same program and the next day I tried the patent with the shampoo, to my surprise the windows were frosted but after wiping them with a rubber window scraper the steam did not appear again despite the air supply turned off and 4 people on board. In this method, it is important to apply the shampoo to a dry glass, otherwise the shampoo will start foaming and the effect will be poor. 5 days have passed and there is no steam on the windows. Only once in the morning frost appeared on the glass, but after rubbing it, the windows remain clean.

Hello,
the car is a Honda Jazz, they usually have poor airflow, even replacing the filter did not help. And the filter was clean anyway, no black deposits whatsoever. I read and did this:
The car dried up at a friend's garage, I shook the rugs, washed the windows, then waited for them to dry and then sprayed some anti-fogging agent and threw 5 absorbers, I bought them on Allegro (small rectangular ones). The effect was positive, only in severe frost it evaporates.
I'm a bit scared with this shampoo.

Today I started to steam again, but it was ok for a week, so I'll try again when I have some time.

After leaving the car, I suggest leaving the window slightly open (about half a centimeter), it will be enough for about an hour. The temperature will even out and there will be no moisture.

Hello, from what I know, Honda jazz likes to steaming windows in winter. This model does . I suggest, like a friend, ventilate the interior before leaving the car so that the temperatures are evened out, it should help.

Hello! If the car has air conditioning, turn it on. Also, pay attention if the internal air circulation is not closed. Regards, Stefan.

Hello,
I have used the following measures:
* I washed the windows from the inside,
* then I waited for them to dry and then sprinkled with some anti-fogging agent,
* I threw in 5 absorbers, I bought it on Allegro (such a small rectangular one),
* before leaving the car, I wipe the windows with a chamois leather,
* at the same time I air the car, closing the door later,
* my filter is clean, no black deposits of any kind,
* I put the car to my friend in the garage (about 18 degrees C, but it's always more than outside) once a week for 4-5 hours, and then the rubber mats hang on the radiators and dry - before putting them on, I shake off the sand.
* after leaving the car, I flap the wipers from snow and mud,
* I also try not to put snow on the car when getting into it,
* I turn on air conditioning and external circulation.

So far, everything is okey, and OUR HONDY JAZZs have all of them ;-(

I have not tried shampoo and I will not

Note if water is accumulating somewhere in you. In winter, they like to soak the rugs with snow from their shoes and then it all evaporates onto the glass and the frost captures it. There was a hole in my friend's sill and that's where the moisture got into the car. Driving in the rain is just as unpleasant. Everything is steaming around.

Hello! If this happens with the air conditioning turned on and the air circulation open, the only thing left is a leak in the body. There is nothing better to dry the interior than the air conditioning, of course, provided that the drains are not clogged. Regards, Stefan.

There is no water under the rugs.
The ASO said that if the windows evaporate, you need to turn on the air conditioning with open air circulation and everything will be ok, which is true. JAZZs have so confirmed by many statements on the honda.pl forum

There is no water and the rugs are brushed. I wrote about this above in other posts.

How can rubber rugs soak up water?

Hello! So what about drains? Regards, Stefan.

The method has worked so far, I take a paper towel or even toilet paper and simply wipe the windows. You have to spare a moment, but in the morning there is no frost. I also tried to turn on the air conditioning or a cold air supply for 10 or 15 minutes before reaching the place. I tried both, it works, but why freeze unnecessarily. I prefer a quick wipe and in the morning it's OK.

Hello! "I also tried to turn on the air conditioning or a cold air supply for 10 or 15 minutes before reaching the place. I tried both, it works, but why should I freeze unnecessarily?" Why freeze ??? The fact that the air conditioning is on does not mean that it should be cold in the car! However, it will be dry for sure. Regards, Stefan.
