Windshield fogging

I keep a microfiber towel in my car, no amount of windex will remove the fog, but a quick microfiber wipe works for a bit.

Pretty sure this is a by-product of whatever crazy material mitsubishi used for the interior. Probably the same reason all 3000gts/stealths smell the same. Sun hits the dash and causes it to out-gas something that fogs the windows. I suspect it could be cured with a dash cover.

^^^ This is the correct answer. Whatever glue Mitsubishi used that allows our dash padding to separate and peel is also gassing and fogging up our windshields. This is much different that fogging that goes away with the defrost. Its more like a cloudy film that can be wiped away. There was a Mitsubishi Tech Talk article that address this concern. Later models (i forget the cutoff date) used a different glue that not only practically eliminates the fogging, but also eliminates the dash separation. My 1G VR4 fogs up and the dash padding has been separating at the edges (cracking the defrost vent for the second time) while my 96 RT/TT is fog free. I keep a small microfiber towel on the passenger seat just to wipe every so often.
