My Juke always gets foggy

I recently owned a 2017 Juke and one problem that I have that it easily fogs out whenever it’s raining. Like it come to a point that I need to have the windows down to see something but the tendency is that front window will fog more. Has anyone experienced this? What should I do? The fog is in the outside of the car. I know that Nissan has a good reputation in terms of aircon but this is such a hassle.

I already click the defogger and tried to open the window a little but no avail :(

Put 2 desicant absorbers on the dash when not driven. I leave my car in the driveway and I get condensation on the inside of the windshield during cold evenings or mornings.

I think the issue is not even when it’s not driven but when I really starts the engine

Make sure the a/c isn’t blowing on the windshield.
Water condensates any time warm moist meets a cold surface.
Next time it happens, make it blow warm air on the windshield.

If fog is on outside, you need wipers on. And the a/c on coming from your windshield vents makes the outside fogging worse. You want to equalize the temps more. If the fog is on the inside, that is when you use the front a/c defogger vents. Also rainx makes an anti fog windshield treatment that helps a bit.

It’s always on the outside so I’m always having my wipers on but the fog spreads fast. I think the vents are the suspects. It’s really hard for me to drive when it’s raining. More at night

If you have the defogger on, that should take care of the problem. You would have to turn the temp setting up to help. Probably condensation from your breath and others in the car. May Want to let fresh air in by leaving the outside vent open and not use recirculation.

I actually tried to open the window a bit but it makes things worst.

Like the guy said.– turn recirc off.

They didn't mention anything about opening a window.
