Windshield has condensation in hot weather

[newkidontheblock]

Weather is warm in Atlanta. In the past month I have noticed condensation build up in the bottom part of windshield. It has happened in 80 degree weather. I am able to get rid of it by using the front defrost option.

Has anyone seen this? My 1 year service is coming up in August so perhaps I can get it looked at that time.

I'm no expert, but only time I've seen condensation like this in my cars has been due to running defrost mode with the air-conditioning on.

Inside or outside?

I assumed that it was inside but I am not sure. I will verify it next time it happens

I don’t run the defrost mode. Air conditioner is typically on. Condensation appears and then I run defrost to make it go away.

We had this on our cars in Maryland in the hot humid summers. AC cools the windshield and moisture condenses on the outside. Annoying as all heck.

Same thing with glasses. Go outside from an AC environment and my glasses would instantly fog over.

Got it. Thanks. I have seen this happen in other cars.

Condensation usually happens on the outside when warm moist air touches cold glass surface, like a cold glass of water gets condensation on the out side (warm side), you can use wiper + fluid if it gets too bad.
