Default Foggy windows

I am just gonna guess, but are the Wranglers prone to having the windows fog up? Mine do constantly, seems like I have to run the defroster 90% of the time.

Mine don't anymore than any other vehicle. Foggy windows could indicate an antifreeze leak in the heater core. Suggest you keep a close eye on antifreeze level.

Is your HVAC set to recirculate or fresh air? Recirculating will fog like crazy in the cold weather.

Default anti-fog

You can also try applying an anti-fog solution (I had some in a small bottle - looked similar to Rain-X) [ apologies, I'm about 30,000 miles from my garage, so I can't check ]

My Jeep fogged something fierce due to relative humidity and a leaky top/wet carpet didn't help (both problems since remedied) but the anti-fog helped me out.
Added bonus: you can use it on the bathroom mirror and it will help dramatically if your significant other likes to steam the ever livin' snot out of the shower in the AM when you're trying to shave.

It has been doing it since day one (this past November). Its not crazy foggy, just seems to do it more than the other vehicles I have.
