No matter what I do, the windows just don't want to stay clear. Is this a Honda thing, because my cousins has a Civic, and her car does the same exact thing. I will keep my heat on and it will unfog my windshield, but sometimes they will stay fogged up, no matter what. I try opening the windows, but that gets way too cold. I don't have AC, so that's out of the question..any suggestions?! Thanks. =)

Why Windows Fail

There is much more to insulated glass unit (IGU) failure than common window legend tells. The fabled 'ruptured' seal that brings moisture into the sealed unit is, in most cases, a small breach that is easy to manage and control with the Crystal Clear Moisture and Damage Control service.

Over the life of a sealed unit, a litany of loads acts upon it. And while manufacturing, transport, installation, exposure and building pressure can all compromise an IGU's seal integrity, it is the day-to-day atmospheric pressures acting on the unit, like temperature, that take the biggest toll. Among these stresses, radiant heat from the sun is by far, the most destructive.

The great majority of failed IGUs are found on the sunny side of the property. Why? This is a factor of temperature pressures and time. When the sun's direct energy hits a window, the associated rise in temperature between the panes of glass makes the air molecules more active, increasing pressure in the chamber, on the glass

and on the seals. Conversely, as the temperature drops, a negative pressure is exerted on the glass and seals.

'Solar pumping' serves to exploit or create the tiny breaches inside the unit that serve as channels for the diffusion of air into the chamber. As air travels into the chamber day in and day out, it naturally brings moisture with it. [The Readers Digest magazine The Family Handyman talks about this cycle that causes windows to fail. Dated in 2000 they were not aware of this process.]*
