Foggy windows question
So I've had my '00 XJ for a couple of months. Last night was cold and wet. When I left early this morning for work I noticed the windows were foggy. I cranked up the defrost which seemed to work ok but it barely cleared the lower half of the front window, let alone the sides which remained foggy. What am I missing here?

Clean you glass. Dirty glass is MUCH more likely to fog and less willing to clear up. As long as your AC works, your defroster will dehumidify air; if your AC is shot or you have none, you'll really need clean glass and will have to dial the temp of the air just right to keep condensation from accumulating on the glass.
The arm that opens and closes the defroster also commonly breaks on 97+. If you hear a clear *THWAP!* sound when you turn your blower on, your defroster door is likely being blown shut by the airflow in the HVAC box.
