Anyone have the Stock Windshield fog on their Calvin?  If so did you find any fixes?

Buy a new one. Rifle offers them in several heights and widths...

It was driving me crazy until a friend of mine suggested to stop using any chemicals on it and just use some water with a bit of dishwashing soap on the screen.  Miracles do happen.  No more fog.

Not sure about the fog but one of the best things to clean it with is Lemon Pledge and a soft cloth. Once all the bugs are off turn the rag over to a dry part and finish removing the pledge then it should be crystal clear!

Yup and yup... vinegar. My wife's rice vinegar was least offensive.

Thanks everyone.  For the record no chemicals other than car wash soap have ever touched it.  Heard about the pledge but will try the vinegar first and if nothing works I will buy a new one.  I knew about the replacements from rifle looked into those when I bought it.

Thanks again

You won't need a new one. The first time it may take a couple-three goes with the vinegar but it'll cut it. Also, for what it's worth, most paper towels seem to have some crapination in them which often just makes things worse.
