It's been raining for days and my windows keep fogging. (it's to hot to use heat)

What can I use to stop this? (rain -x fog isn't safe for tint.)

Immediate fix is use your AC!!!!!!!

BUT When my windows would fog up when it rained I had a hairline crack in a pipe near my radiator. I had it welded and the problem went away.

I just looked in the trunk and the the driver side tail light is letting the rain water in. Where can I buy the black sealant?

Using this fixed your leaking taillight issue? Im having the same problem but on the passenger side.

yes Sir, it cost 25.00 a box and I have plenty left over. If you want to buy a couple strips instead of wasting 25.00 holla at me.

This is the same stuff the manufacturers use. The problem with our cars is the gasket is foam and it cracks from over tightening and over time starts to deteriorate.

Glad you got that tail light fixed. I was going to mention to use the a/c as well as it will "dehumidify" the air inside the car. No moisture means no fog.

me too Chaka, I would if mine worked....

my cable that goes to the heater hose on the fire wall won't move.

This shouldn't matter that much

There are doors in front of the heater core itself that close up and redirect air around it instead of through it. You should still get cool air.

Regardless reach down and shut the valve off with your hand. Problem temporally solved

Well sorry to hear the a/c isn't cooperating.

hgeez: If it weren't for the storms cooling us off this week I'd DIE here in Bama with no a/c!
