Kelowna,
So last winter I had constant problems of my windows frosting INSIDE. I would constantly have to scrape the windows to get off the fresh layer of frost that would form pretty much right after I scraped it off. Im not sure if its my window seals or something to do with my defrosters because when ever I wash the car the inside of the car seems to stay dry. ALL of my windows except the front windshield are affected by the frost, does any one know what this could be?
 
Try letting the interior cool off before shutting the doors. You're trapping the moisture inside. Heat + glass + cold = moisture.
 
Ooooo thats a pretty good theory, any fast way to do this, I dont want to be sitting in my car for too long when its -30 outside. Also my car did it when it rained for a few days but it was just like condenstation on the inside.
 
This may or may not solve the problem, however it should extend the life of your seals. Get some silicone emulsion or silicone spray, and put that on the door window seals. Should soften them up and help prevent them from cracking. Might also help with this situation. Just avoid getting it on your paint, as it's not too good for it.

Edit: Just noticed you're from Kelowna, pretty damn close to me.
 
Ah my profile is old now, I moved to Edmonton AB last summer, havnt updated it yet though. I havnt had a problem with the seals drying out yet or anything, but maybe ill try that just to prevent it.
 
The AC is supposed to run with the defroster in order to drop the moisture out of the air. Is your AC working?


Yes my a/c works by its self. Im not sure what you mean though...when ever I am using the defroster my A/C doesnt come on by its self. I also noticed that my AC has two settings a green one and an orange one.
