There is a windshield demister mode or switch on the HVAC or climate control system of your car.

Ever wondered what are those vents for on your car's dashboard close to the windscreen? Well many of you must be aware of it, but those who aren't, there is a windshield demister mode or switch on the HVAC or climate control system of your car. Switching to it will throw air through those vents on the windscreen and will help defog it.

AC Temperature

Adjust the AC temperature at around two degrees lower on the inside in a bid to maintain an even balance

Now generally fog settles on any glass surface only when it's moist and the temperature on the outside of the cabin doesn't match to the temperature on the inside. You can simply check the outside temp on the MID of your vehicle or get a google update on your phone, and then accordingly adjust the AC temperature at around two degrees lower on the inside in a bid to maintain an even balance. So let's say if outside temperature is showing 22 degrees, set the inside temperature at 20 degrees instead of going too low or high and that will do the job.

Tobacco

Tobacco might come handy for you in monsoons in cleaning the windscreen of your car.

Yes! While consuming tobacco will damage your health and should be definitely avoided, it has few other benefits. If you live in an area where it gets too sultry and your location records heavy rainfall, tobacco might come handy for you. Just take a handful of raw tobacco and rub it nicely on the windscreen, and then let it dry for around five minutes. It will deoxidise the screen and will streamline the flow of water so that it doesn't settle on the windscreen and you get a clear screen.

Wiper Blades
