    If you are way up north in the frozen lands you may have the inside of your driver window freeze up. I’ve scraped the frost off with my drivers license but the frost always came back. It is caused by the drivers water vapor from exhaling. Quick fix - slightly open one of your cab vents a little. Boom! Defrost then has no issue. That is all! Happy trucking!

    You're talking about sleeper vents?

    I just roll with my window cracked on the passenger side so it’s not whistling in my ear but it’s not stuffy and gross.

    Pretty much like that all the time. I don’t smoke or anything I just like a little fresh air.

    For $170K I expect the cab climate control to handle this......without the window open.

    Guess I expect to much.

    Passenger side of a Pete?
    Check the vent hose connection on the door vent. It may be kinked or not fitting properly.

    This happens more as you bring in snow and other sources of h2o (like on snow on your boots) this eventually evaporates and raises the humidity level inside the cabin. Make sure the "a/c" system is on and probably might help to have the recirculate option turned on to speed up reducing moisture level of the interior air mass.
