Jan Shore on Jul 02, 2015I agree with Mary but have an idea which may work. Try using some Rain-ex (not sure that is how it si spelled) on it, like you would use on a car window which causes water to bead, not streak. I use it on my windows as well as the shower door and they rarely if ever fog. Hope that helps!Helpful Reply

John Bittner on Jul 02, 2015There are companies around that drill a small hole in the glass. They then pump in a liquid to clean the glass as long as it isn't too badly fogged. A small screen button is placed over the hole. To allow it to dry out. Once the seal is broken that window loses a portion of its insulation quality. Drilling the small hole once the seal is broken that window loses a portion of its insulation quality. Drilling the small Is not going to further diminish it very much. I did this to several windows and it has worked well. You can probably Google window repair and find a companyHelpful Reply
