Default Driving in rain without defogger.

Drove my Camaro for the first time today without heat/ac/wipers in the rain. I rain-x'd the windshield and that actually worked pretty good. Rain beaded right off as i started driving. The major thing was the inside window kept fogging up. Any solutions to that? Tried cracking the window but that didnt help. lol What are you guys doing?

go to autozone and buy a plug in little heater that you can put on the dash and it will defog the window. I had several cars before and thats what I did and it worked.

In CT I had a issue with the heater core so essentially no heat or defogger, in the warm, wet spring time and colder October where it frosted over. Both sucked very badly, the towel really didnt work and when it was night the windows would get smudgy.

Like said get some sort of heater, it makes all the diff.

RainX also makes an anti-fog wipe for the inside of your windshield. I haven't tried it yet but when I remove my heat I might give it a shot.

Every single review that I have read on the rain-x defogger stuff says that it doesn't work.

I used that on my street/strip IROC and it made things worse in my opion, I bought a small fan and aimed it on the windshield and it helped abit (but it wasnt a dd so I didnt need it all the time)
