That isn't normal and shouldn't happen. I have owned 10+ new GM vehicles, my last 3 have all had some of the weirdest HVAC programming I have ever seen. Case in point...

On my 2017 1LE. It was cold out yesterday morning (40° outside). I turn the temperature control to 74° and a comfortable amount of heat comes out of the system to my liking. Yesterday as I get off work it is 65° outside, I want the windows down but it is a little chilly so I want some heat as well. Well now that same 74° on the HVAC wont produce any heat. I had to ramp it up to 83° in order to get any heat out of the system.

This is the 4th time I have seen where if it is cold outside I can get heat around 73° on the system, but if it is warm outside I have to go above 80° in order to get any heat from the system.
My tahoe does the same with the temp control. (BTW, since I have a registered chevy tahoe, that was another $1k discount on the new camaro...thought I'd share that)

I thought when the front defroster button is pushed, the AC comes on?

I push it...window clears, then I turn it off...haven't been driving it long enough to see the issues you are describing yet, but that rolled up towel looks like a quick fix.

From an engineering/physics perspective, the angle of the window and the tight quarters under the dash are probably very prohibitive on what can be accomplished regarding this issue....IE...do you want condensate, or less flow and half the window staying fogged? I am sure there are many variables we aren't even able to consider. My 6.2 looks to tuck under there quite well also.

We bought the Camaro as a weekend/fun/getaway vehicle....not a daily driver. I have owned many rides, including a corvette, so we knew it would be limited in some regards, but altogether....the camaro is an awesome car!
