Civic EG

I recently removed my heater and everything that was attached to it to save some weight. I plan on driving the car in the summer months only and was wondering if there would be a problem with the windows fogging on rainy days. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada so its not too bad for humidity in the summer.

Thanks!

I'm about to find out the same thing! My plan is to not drive in the rain, if so you may have to crack your winidows.

Thats what i was thinking but hopefully i don't get caught in the rain someday. I am also planning on removing my windshield wash bottle and attempting your battery tuck! I hope to get some camlock screws and attach my front bumper with those for quick removal. Would be eaiser than those tricky screws that were used by honda! I had to drill some to get them out

those 5 screws iin the center are a bitch when they are rusted in! I had to rill out a couple as well!

What did you do about that hole in the cowl where the blower motor used to sit below?

I'm not sure if I should seal mine or not since it won't be in the rain anyways

I want to seal the firewall as much as possible. You might not get any rain but i would imagine the road and engine noise would increase some. I think i will weld a piece of metal in the holes and cut when i need something to go through.

I was thinking about re-running whatever i could through a new gromet (Excuse spelling) Which would give me a nice clean wall. Most people wouldn't notice it but i would know it was like that haha. I want to replace my brake hardlines and have 4 clean holes, i remember seeing gromets at home depot that would work, near the bottom with the conjunction thinghy (Forgot what its called) on the inside of the wall. I Have lots of room now.

The main problem i am having now is finding the time to work on my car not to mention not having any money But i figure school is soon over and the weather will be nicer so i can get the interior painted and the firewall cleaned up. I still have to get all the little pieces of tar off the floor haha it is a bugger i cleaned the rest with paint thinner and it cleaned up really nice. Due to all the salt the floor on the driver side needs some special attention. I just sprayed some rust killer primer on it to keep it out of the elements for now. Hopefully it won't be too much trouble!

we have very similar projects going on

In my 2000 Si I removed the heater, and here in AZ we do have a monsoon season. I was nervous about the windows fogging too. I used rain-x on the inside of the window and never had a problem with it fogging. Dont know if it'll do the same for you, but its worth a try.

o snap i never even thought about that... thanks a lot!!! i used to have this issue with a few older cars i had that the rear defroster didnt work hahaha but im gonna use it on my car too just to prevent fogging up

Thats a good idea! Thanks i will definately give it a try!

Actually i have even heard of motorcyclists using pledge to keep bugs and rain off the windscreen.. funny if it would work ... and would have a fresh lemon scent
