Exclamation Are JK's really made for Winter?????

I am having two problems this winter with my JK................

1. After I wash my truck when i leave the wash bay all of my windows fog up and then ice over

2. When i use my compustar command start the interior dash fills up with snow .......... its coming in through the vents in the upper dash @ the wind shield (defrost setting)



Does this happen to any of you ???? any solutions????

Snow is coming inside the vehicle? I take it compustar is remote start?

the fogging up of the windows happens, but snow blowing in through the vents is definately not normal.

I guess it could be that I had just washed my Truck the day before...........but it comes out and sprays a thin layer of snow on my dash.

I think it is coming through my vent on the hood???

My Rubi (with a remote start) is bulletproof when it's come to Canadian weather!
No fog/snow in my Jeep... and I commute to Winnipeg everyday (My DD)

I have no idea what you are talking a bout...

There is an air filter between the hood vent and the interior vent (cabin air filter)

This would shop any snow..

Does it "snow" every time you start it?

I've had mine up in Cochrane, Ontario in the middle of February. -35 F and no issues what so ever. Just don't unzip the rear window when it's that cold or you could have some issues getting it closed back up or with the window cracking.
