Lonewolfgjp Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I've been suffering from the windows steaming up too. I think with mine there are a few possible causes. The main one I think was that I cleaned the hood late one afternoon and it took days to dry! Also I had a look at the drain holes the other day and the clamshell was pretty green and full of dead leaves. I have ordered a trombone cleaner to clear the pipes but I did vac and clean the clamshell out. The is the tiniest bit of moisture behind the passenger seat but the door cards are dry. So I wet vacced the carpet bought one of those dehumidifier bags for on the dashboard and made some of Patts sock bombs for in the frunk and boot? It does seem 100% better today although it's not been overly cold today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Behold a Christmas miracle!! found this on amazon prime for about. Tenner in the sale. It given that can't even SEE my windscreen with it working so well, I'm gonna say this was a good find. It has a cable to that you plug in to the mains to recharge it when the indicator says it's too moist (who knew that could be a problem??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutley Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I assume it's this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015FZAC2A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XtJwyb7WTBD0C Looks good Loz. Keep us updated how well it lasts between 'recharges'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordlee Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would investigate the door membranes - have you had any work done on them recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep us updated how well it lasts between 'recharges'. We've been using similar on the cars which don't move much, for years. They work very well. My only criticism is that they get rather hot when recharging, so we always do that when there's someone around to keep an eye on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Finally had chance today to have a play with the car and check all the drain holes were clear. In General they were all clear except one on the edge of the passenger clamshell. Now being as I found a tiny bit of water behind the passenger seat, I'm hoping this is the cause. I cleaned all drains with the trombone cleaner then blew compressed air through them and then finally I ran some hot water through them. All clear ? Hopefully this is the end of the moisture behind the passenger seat and maybe this may also help with the condensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the carpet is a very thick dense foam which will absorb ten times more water than the carpet on top itself. The only way to dry this out especially at this time of year is remove the seats and carpet. But you need to check for the source of the leak.

Araf Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Make sure there's no water under the seat. There's an expensive module there, which you don't want wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinjim Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Car gone to local garage for window regulator to be replaced today ? I told them of the problems with water ingress and what to look out for, hopefully this should sort the problem. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
