Which button gets rid of the fogging from when i have the heater going in the car? We were freezing the whole drive, cause the button i thought did it only did the back window?

:c

I don't know what your car is like. :) But in my car (here in Canada), there's wire things in the back windshield, and you press a button and that will heat up and defrost the back windshield. However, those wires are ONLY on the back windshield.

When you say you have the heater going in the car, are you talking about the interior heating/cooling fan, or do you have a separate heater installed?

Usually, in the winter, if I have to choose, I choose the option that heats both the windshield and my feet. If that's not enough, I go full throttle windshield.

Check to see if you air intake is cycling internally only, or if you're drawing external air in.

However, in extreme cold, my car can ice up on the inside, and that's from running the heater, melting, causing condensation, which then solidifies again as soon as I turn my car off again. Only fix for that is a scraper, and parking with my windshield facing the sun.

This is a much longer answer than I anticipated. I'm sorry - I wasn't quite sure what you were asking, and what the weather conditions are like, so I thought I'd cover all the bases.

FFff this is my first car so I don't know much, but I meant the heating that came with the car? It was cycling internally and was all nice and warm but the front window I kind of need to see out of fogged up completely and I thought there was a button or dial or something to de-fog the windscreen? But alas the one i pressed only did the back windscreen.

No ice today, just never ending rain and hail.

Feels like something i should know if we're gonna keep sitting in a cold car while drenched wet :c soooo cold

Did you have the vents set to warm the windshield? Most cars have multiple vent settings, so you can blow air at your face, or your feet, or just generally around the cabin, and of course to set the air to blow at the windshield. Sounds like you may not have had the vents set to blow at the windshield.

Have you read the manual for the dashboard control settings? That is the first port of call. If you don't have that, then googling the car make and model will generally tell you which it is.

Give us the model, make, and year the car was made and we can tell you more. We need that info to look up the vehicle settings.

Kinda late, but in most cars it's part of the knob that you turn to tell the air where to blow. It's usually on the far left or the far right of the knob and looks like a series of wavy lines below a semi-circle. Just turn that on and it will blow hot (or cold) air onto the windshield. Try hot, and if that doesn't get rid of the fog then swap to cold. Then keep swapping between air on the windshield and air on you for the rest of the trip (assuming that the air on the windshield isn't enough to keep you hot or cold).

I've marked the two buttons with red circles.

Obviously your car will look a bit different, but the symbols are same in every car.
Those two things are all you need. In extreme cases, you can open up the window on the driver's side for a minute or two.

Hope this helps!

Here's some of the climate control icons yoi might see in a car:

The one in the upper right corner is the one for blowing air on the front windshield. The one that's third row down, second from left, is for blowing air on the windshield and your feet at the same time (useful when it's cold out). The second from left in the top row (rectangle) is for defrosting the rear windshield. The snowflake means air conditioning (so does the "A/C").

Here's one that's less complicated:

Windshield de-fogging is at far right.

Here's a picture of these in a car:

You can see that it's currently set to blow on the windshield (and also is set to cold air and a low fan speed).
