Florida resident here, I experienced this same frustrating fogging. A solution was posted earlier here, and it works. I got a 4 foot section of "commercial vinyl baseboard" cut it to 18 inches and placed it over the vent. Lowes has black and grey in stock at my local store. It has a lip on one end that tucks between the windshield and dash, so it doesn't slide around. I haven't had time to do a more custom cut but it will be easy to do. this solution appealed to me rather than have the local Chevy dealer tear out the dash.

I did the fix as well. Unfortunately for me when I have it the gas it flies off the dash

Did you use the heavy vinyl stuff? Maybe I'm not giving it enough gas, I am still in break - in mode.

n813ca · 06-18-2017, 02:30 PM

Yeah. I bought it from Lowes. I have had it fly off 3 times now. I am not in break in mode

I got to experience this really bad on the way to a track event early in the morning this past weekend. The amount of air that leaks out of the defrost vent is unreal. I tried every combination of settings, but there was ALWAYS air leaking. It was getting so bad, I had to pull over and grab a detailing towel out of my trunk and stuff it on top of the vent. Blocking the air of course fixed it, but there shouldn't be any air leaking out, period.

I just started researching this and I've read maybe 10 pages worth on a couple different threads. So I don't have to go back and read 30 pages of posts, is there any fix for this yet?

They do have a fix, but it involves taking the windshield out so the tech can snake a camera down and cut off pieces of foam.

Do you leave yours on all the time? Does the sun melt it? I'm in FL and it's real hot here.

I live in Orlando. It doesn't melt but when I gun it.... It flys off and is a dangerous distraction

Let me know how the fix works when you do it. I live in Ft Lauderdale and mine does it a lot.
