Rain-x you use on the outside so the rain just runs off,I hardly use my wipers anymore,it's like you hit hyperspace with all the rain steaking off!! lol

The same company do a anti fog one you use on the inside,it works! Just apply a small amount,not too much or it will streak.

The other option is the window visors.It allows you to have the window down an inch.

window visors will help. although I have a/c i dont ever use it, i just open the windows alittle and the visors stop rain getting into the car.

i remember in the old days when i use to drive an 87 camry, that had no air con, i use to put the heater on, just over half way. it use to work like a charm.

i use to try that in newer cars, had windows down, but nothing worked as well as air con.

i found by just having really clean windows on the inside my car never fogged up, its normally the grease or thin layer of crap thats adhered to the window that makes it fog up. this includes residue on cleaning products as part of the "crap"

Rain-X is horrible... (Works though...)

If it gets too foggy, the steam condensates and turns into droplets of water... INSIDE...
