Question defoggin the rear window

I have to go to school by 7 in the morning and my car isnt kept in the garage (my stupid mom likes her two cars better, so me and my dad have to keep our cars outside ) so when its a little dewy and cold, my rear window fogs up. I use my heating de fogging thing for the rear window, but does is any one elses really really reallly slow? and takes about like i ono 5-6 minutes to start actually defogging it? should i get it checked out???

I have the same problem, when the car's been sitting outside instead of the garage, but it's much worse on the windshield. I get all this condensation that I can 1) wipe off and smudge the inside of the windshield or 2) wait 10 minutes for the defrost to remove. Especially noticible when it rains. I wish I had a suggestion for you, but I don't, so I thought I'd commiserate instead.

Really? It never occured to me to put it on the inside of the windshield. Duh. Guess I'll be running to the store on the way home. I can't believe I didn't think of that before.

And if that doesn't work try turning on the A/C at full blast (just full fan speed, the temp doesn't matter, warm or cold or hot; as long as the A/C light is lit) to get the moisture out of the air inside the car. That should speed things up a little. At least it did in my last car...

Poor baby... he owns an 8 at a school age and mother won't let him put it in the garage.... you live in California, there is NO need for a garage there, try living up here without one...

use Fog X(rainX for the inside) When the rear window doesn't defrost real fast it doesn't usually bother me because in the first 5 min of driving for me I can just use the side mirrors instead.
