Frequently asked questions
Why won't my windshield defog?
Defrost relies on strong airflow to the glass plus the AC drying the air; if the mode door, AC, or filter is faulty, the fog won't clear.
My rear window won't defog — why?
The rear defroster uses a heating grid printed on the glass; a broken line or bad connection stops it from working.
