Has anybody been driving in cold (-6 to -17) weather with fog and having issues with the defrost not keeping up with the windshield clear?
According to the paperwork, there is a cold weather package installed.
I had a 2011 Rubicon that could keep up except the very outer edges.
Thanks for any help

Not sure what normal is with this new version of Jeep. The volume of air does not seem to match sound of the fan

The cold weather package is the remote start and heated seats/steering wheel and would not change the output of windshield defroster.

It is an issue, you can purchase small deflectors that go in the dash vent. Think they are on amazon, I intend to purchase them soon.

I'm out in Colorado and the defrost has trouble evenly distributing hot/warm air across the front windshield of my 2021 Rubicon. I found some plugs on Amazon that I put in everyother hole in the front windshield vents and it did the trick for me. Square plugs for front window defrost vents

Unfortunately that is all you get with the cold weather package.
In the past it meant a heavier duty heating system and higher air flow along with plug in engine heaters
