|  Is there some sort of dehumidifier for my car?
Like, something that absorbs moisture in the air? Every time I get in my car to go somewhere, the winshield gets frosty on the inside. Not just fog, frost. The defrost doesn't clear it up until a few minutes. I would rather not sit in my car for 5 minutes, so is there a way to stop this problem?

get alot on boxes of baking soda, get they absorb moisture as well at odor. put them on the floor, back seat, etc.... you'll have to change them out fairly frequently until the problem is gone becuase the absord moisture quick and then they are stiff and useless, but for 79 cent a box you cant go wrong

Will I have to keep using them? Because every time I get into the car, there is snow on my feet, so then it melts and goes into the air I guess. | |

2 notes:
1) make sure the reciprication button is turned off. Leaving it on traps moisture in the car and causes fogging/frosting inside.
2) If it's really bad, turn the A/C on. It works by removing moisture from the air. Of course, you'll want to turn it up to hot.  | |

You're not supposed to fire up the AC below 40 degrees.
