The dash air works great. It freezes us. The defrost is warm air. We have turned on the vents, didn't make a change. We have turned on the dash air, blows great and is cold. we have done various combinations but nothing seems to work except the dehumidifyng use of the AC units that freeze us to death. The best thing we tried is using rainex antifog. But just doesn't seem this should be the fix.

Thanks,

This is an '88 PT and the controls for the dash air and defrost is separate
systems I believe. The common AC/Heat control was not introduced until the
'90's Coach's. But I could be mistaken on this point.

So warm air inside, glass (inside) cold equals moisture on the inside glass
and fog. So if the glass (inside) is warmer than the cold out side, the
moisture forms on the out side. I have not thought about this since high
school. lol

Is the defrost switch on the lower dash with a front heat on/off switch? I
know the defrost in my FC barely stems the tide of fog on the drivers side,
and not very good until the inside of the windshield warms up. I have
helped it out by switching on the Coach air, fan only, on the overhead to
assist the air moving.

Safe travels,
