Help please...windshield fogging up I just bought my 2001 Trans Am WS-6 A4 and I've taken it to the drag strip twice now. Both times I've had a problem with the entire windshield fogging up instantly right at the 1/8 mile traps. I have to throw the defroster on immediately so I can see. Has anyone else encountered this? What is the reason that the windshield is fogging up?
