Default Defrost not working properly

Our daughter's Standard transmission 1992 Integra RS' defrost system doesn't seem to work properly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What isn't working? Air blowing throught the wrong vents? Or is it not getting hot? Or is the fan not working?

Or are you talking about the rear window heater wires?

Hi Jim:
The air is blowing through the right vents, it does get hot and the fan is working but the air is very moist and it is for the front window. The driver and passenger door windows are always fogged up and never seem to clear. After a real, real long time the front window clears somewhat.

Try turning your A/C button on when defrosting. Honda's and Acura's seem to defrost better with it on!

Turn the "re-circulate" button off!

Yeah, recirculation is bad for defogging.

Besides that, maybe the drain tube for the AC evaporator is plugged & there's a puddle of water in there.

Alright my A/C tube may be loose (if its possible). But my rear passenger (right) seat is wet and so is a part of my front passenger floor mat. It was wet a few days in a row and I don't know how water got in just those two places!

that sounds like more of a seal leakage problem and not with your a/c system.
