Likely nowhere near the southeast US, where conditions are most often ideal for the fogging to occur. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Winshield fogging issue
I live in south florida and my RS windshield does fog up on the bottom middle.
Frankly its restricting my vision and is a safety hazard. Paid $40K for this car and this should not be a issue. I have had other problems with this car. Overheat warning form a corroded fan module connector, dealer didn't find it but then the recall was issued. Also the passenger power recliner stopped functioning. Had to bring the car in for that issue. So far I believe the car has been in and out of the dealers shop for 13 days. Never had a issue with my previous car 2008 Acura TL. Not nitpicking here..... the truth speaks for itself. |

Well I have 2 issues. The windshield fogs up when i run my a/c but that won't be a concern now because my a/c started blowing blow torch hot air friday. So at least my windshield will be fog free. I know new cars have issues but this is crazy

mine is getting out of hand here in FL. It is completely becoming a serious safety issue, and I am the only idiot driving around with my windshield wipers on full blast on a sunny day!

Wait to see how they remedy it for the zl1. Epic fail if people paying 80k+ get stuck with this issue.

Block it with a microfiber cloth or towel for the time being. Some of us are working on more permanent/better-looking solutions, but for the meantime cover the vent so you don't get hurt.

Hi everyone. The fogging on the windshield is happening on the 2017 models even on my fifty anniversary edition camaro. This is my first ever camaro (They are freaking awesome) but I just wanted to confirm the rain x option is not working for many? Just the microfiber towel? I live in Houston so things get toasty down here! I am hoping Phastek or another after market company will develop a fix!

Excessively fogging windshields on the outside
I'm not a company persay but I'm working on the best possible fix. I have a machinist partner that as we speak are working on a second prototype. The first one proved a theory I have about this issue. We have full time jobs so this is a side project but when we do have time we're working on it. As soon as we nail down an aesthetically appealing complete solution with every potential problem engineered out of it myself and tmastic will be testing fully before offer them up to our fellow gen 6 owners.
Just a heads up about the phone call I received yesterday from my dealer and GM. It basically was a waste of a minute and a half of my voicemail storage. They recommend a towel, or hitting defrost and AC constantly while driving and rain x fog x which doesn't work because unlike most vehicles windows fogging on the inside whereas on ours it occurs on the outside. My dealer and the communication with GM was a big waste of time. I will update as soon as I can on our progress. |

I've read this entire thread and have the problem as well. But also live in an area where weather conditions are only occasionally causing fogging and so far it has only been annoying not dangerous like some of you are dealing with. Also seems pretty clear this is a big GM mistake but not likely to be fixed by GM anytime soon. While a proper fix might be difficult on existing cars, seems like an alternative would be a plastic air diverter shaped like a hood scoop to direct the excess cold air away from the windshield and back into the cabin. Someone just needs to get with a plastic fab house.

Excessively fogging windshields
That's what I'm doing. You are correct. I tested this theory but diverting it doesn't correct the issue. It still has a cold thermal transfer so it bleeds out around the sides and still fogs up the outside of the windshield. What I'm working on is a vacuum molded and insulated diverter that prevents cold air blasting the windshield at the base and that matches our dashes.

My best fix was to crank the ac really high temp and have it blast on the windshield for a minute or two, it'll fix the issue for the most part. Still pretty annoying.
