Default Windshield fogging up bad!

Today I noticed my windshield was constantly fogging up and it was a lil extra warm inside my car. I would turn on the defrost and problem solved but in a matter of minutes the fog returned. I know this is pretty dumb but is this of any concern?

Clean your window. Nothing to worry about though. All cars do it. It depends on the temperature outside and inside. Aswell as the heat coming off of the motor.

If the fog is greasy and smells sweet you need a heater core. I had the same problem this summer. Look on your passenger floor area in the front and look for wetness.

Good luck

Ditto, this same thing happened to me. Check out your Heater core. Hopefully it's just the weather your dealing with

Nothing big to worry about, just clean your window like they said. Happens to me all the time in Houston during the winter.

Yeah this happened to my Olds Delta 88. If it's a nice smell it's your heater core.
