Front Side Window Condensation

Is anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

With all the vents open and the a/c set on auto at 72 degrees, the air coming out of the vents on top off the front doors creates a lot of condensation on the windows. It makes it nearly impossible to see out the window and into the side view mirrors. The dealer told me to close the vents. This limits the air blowing towards the people and this doens't seem like the correct fix. There should be a way of limiting the air blowing on the windows with out affecting the air coming out of the dash vents.

I am having the same issue and I'm tired of having to roll down the window just to see the side mirror.

I have experienced the same in my vehicle with a rather humid, hi-temp day of 85-90+ degrees F. Move the vent to point straight up rather than toward the driver seat and the inside condensation will decrease to nothing.
