Default use of the ventilation

My firsty trip in a heavy rain was interesting as the side windows were trying to fog up front windows starting etc.
Does the jeep possibly need an externl fan mounted on the dash asa it should be able to keep all the windows clear by defrost selection and fan on full speed.
It did finally settle down after messing with the selections,I ma wondering what surprises will come when winter arrives

i haven't had any problems with that yet, and since i've owned the Jeep 32 days, it seems it rains every other day.

As for the defrost, it worked very well this morning. all windows where frosted over, and after a few KM's on the road, all was clear, all around.

I wud suggest driving with the dvrs window opened just a little unless its extremely cold, this will keep the windshield and side window clear. I have a 03 tj 6cy and never have had any problems winter or rain

I too have noticed an odd behavior regarding fogging up of the windshield and front of the door windows on startup. It quickly clears though, but I've never owned another vehicle that does it. Gotta be some kind of quirk typical of wranglers or what?

I'm wondering if a person is going to have to install the old fashion 12v fan to circulate the air better,reminds me of the old days when car windows fogged for the longest time
