My front windscreen keeps getting cloudy. Also, the windows on my soft top are pretty coudy too. Any kind of special spray to keep it from fogging up and to clear them up? Its a pain to look through when im driving. Thanks.
 
There is a couple of products out there . Novus is one I like from the windshield people
 
I've heard that Novus is a good product for plastic windows also but your front windscreen getting cloudy makes me wonder if your defroster isn't performing well.Mabey the cables that move the floor/defog flap need some attention..IE its not directing the air properly to the top of the dash?
The cables are fairly easy to get at ,should be right above your right knee area behind the dash as you sit in the car, look for the part that holds the cable outer sheath and make sure the inner and outer parts of the cables aren't moving at the same time when you move the heater controls back and fourth.
How does the blower fan perform? Here is a good link I found about the way the MGB heater/defroster system works.

Good luck,hope this helps a bit. Mark
 
Sorry, about the front window, it's not that the defroster doesn't work, we have not actually had to try it out yet. It just gets cloudy from sitting in the driveway. It's not moisture on the window. But thanks for the website because I don't think my vents are working and that might help.

Don't park under a tree?
 
I don't normally park under a tree. I only do when we are working on it in the back yard but it's cloudy even if it's not under a tree.
 
Is your heater connected?
Core leaking will cause windshield to fog up like that...as will wet carpets.
 
The tree was an attempt at humor ,sorely missed its mark
