Duffman Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Anyone any tips on how to stop this...sometimes is pretty bad when I come out first thing in the morning. Think it's alot to do with aerotop roof letting in moisture but is there anything I can do to help prevent it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Mine's the same. Really bad some times and the only way I can get it to clear is have the air-con on full. Not much fun in the winter.I shall be watching this thread with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You could get one of those plug in electric car heaters and start her up before you leave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Would the stuff you get to stop mirrors in bathrooms steaming up do the trick im not sure if it would work but its an idea bud you rub it onto the glass with a clean cloth its meant to stop it fogging up im not sure what its called though.

michael Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You need to address the moisture in the car first - how is it getting in? Roof seals? If so treat or renew them to get a better seal. Wet coats or shoes in the car? Damp car mats from water on shoes? Dry everything out, heater on full whack, wipe surfaces down with a dry cloth and then remove the cloth from the car. A lot of people leave a damp cloth in, you dry the glass and then allow the water to leave the cloth and go back on there, sound sensible? Then... Have you cleaned the inside of the glass with a specialist car glass cleaner? A lot of these help prevent misting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Try changing the aircon setting from re-circ to draw air from outside. You'll find it demists far faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy07 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My aerotop leaks like a seive i think i need something better,like a garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I close the vents overnight (set to re-circ) on cold nights. Turn re-circ off in the morning and open the window a touch until the windows have warmed up. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymdee Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I find turning the air temp to cold and blasting all the hot air out of the system, with the door open just as I get home does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
