Well its now middle of winter, and its been bloody cold here in calgary. I got my self a 90 si, and the bloody rear windows, and some of the time the front windows all stay frosted over. Its not like teh regular fogging up but a nice layer of frost on the inside. Any sudgestion how i can get rid of this. Its pissing the hell out me. Thanks a lot.

Press your rear window defroster button, than turn on the heat set on defrost for the front.

LOL...ok that was just plain funny! :iceslolan
There are two setting's on where you get the 'air' from that your heater is using, one takes in fresh air from the engine bay, the other re-circulates air that is already in the car.
Use the one that takes the air from outside.
If you use the one that re-circulates the air you are just taking all of the moisture out of your carpets and floor mats from melted snow and crap and depositing it on the windows...once the heat goes off..bam, interior frost.
Also if you have access to a garage, take it in and let it warm up...then clean all of the interior windows and dry them really well. This should help you.
Trust me I know how you feel, I'm on the east coast of Canada and this used to happen to me all the time, I haven't used the "re-circulate" option in two and half years!
Good luck! :)

Just "borrow" the garage for like an afternoon...and if you have a wet/dry vac...suck some of the moisture out of the carpets, then clean and dry your windows...and then relinquish the garage...
