Small moisture circles on bottom of windshield when A/C on?

2SS6th · 07-23-2019, 03:20 AM

So I’ve been looking through the forums a lot, but most of the issues have been related to windshields fogging up, though mine’s didn’t seem to be excessive but, whenever I have the A/C on, usually on 77 or below, the bottom middle ONLY of my windshield (from the outside) get moisture circles, any fix?

This picture is the perfect example of my issue, it was the only one I found that matched my problem.

BY THE WAY!! HELLO CAMARO FAMILY!! I’m new here!! Bought my 2SS A8 2 months ago!! Loving it very much, except for the throttle lag/response lol

Change how you vent is blowing out, if that doesn't fix it some have made a mat to fit over the defrost vent in order to stop this from happening. Its annoying for sure but basically too much cold air is going through your defrost vent.

Most cars do this. Turn on the defrosters with high heat and gone in seconds.

No new news here about the fogging issue! Congratulations on your Camaro and welcome to the forum!

A known problem with the design of our car. In high humidity, condensation on the outside of the glass. Unfortunately switching the vent settings does not stop it as there is always some air directed to the windshield on every setting. I cover up most of the vents with a strip of rubber in July and August to prevent it. Not elegant, but its black and not very noticeable.

Most cars do not do this, this is a design flaw with this car with a piece of foam that wasn't inserted properly or is too big and it holds the defrost flaps open. The fix for it requires pulling the windshield and going in from the top to take it out. You can also like stated above cover the holes with mat material which is what I am doing.

I use an oversize mouse pad. I don't daily my car, so it stays in the trunk until I find an occasion to use it (only 3 times since purchase).

Just hit the button that directs air off the windshield and push buttons for mid level or floor outlets. Problem solved.

It still pushes some air out of the defrost vent, it never closes completely.

...hence the mousepad.

Yeah I have something very similar that was cut to fit under the dash in the holes to block it, just waiting on the car to come out of the shop having a Procharger installed to put it in.

Yeh but nowhere near the amount he shows in his pic. The amount coming out is very little and hardly an issue.

No, it’s worse. That pic is in sunlight. In the evening after the pm rains it gets so bad you cant see unless you run the wipers, leave the hvac off and sweat, or block the dash vent with a cover.

Around here its 95F and 90+%RH every day in summer. The outside of your windshield will fog at a hvac setting of 75F if you’re not moving.

Come on down and visit our home sweet swamp and see.
