   I almost always have both windows on my two-door car open. In winter   
   they may only be open a little. If it's pouring with rain they would   
   stay closed, but I instead set the vents to blow on the windscreen   
   before I drive off. Never ever had any issues with major fogging up at   
   all.   
      
   There's no need at all to keep playing with the controls. That's likely   
   only going to make things worse.
