Tyson Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It will be the worn door seals letting moisture in or if you keep getting in wet. Try having the aircon on full heat with the windows down when driving to try and dry it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I am having the same issue this year, not surprising as most of the South West is under water at the moment I am just trying to take it out for a good run when ever the roads are dry, I drive with the windows open and heater on full lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 im getting it bad this year too, but know my boot seals are done as i get water in my boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You should see my engine bay! its a right mess at the moment I'm the same as Rob it seems - the cabin itself is fine but the inside of the bonnet gets so much condensation on it it's not true! I've taken to lying a pair of cheap bath towels on top of the engine when I wrap her up for the night to soak up any water. That seems to be working so far... Have you tried one of the all-weather car covers? That may help keep the condensation away. Have a look on eBay, they're around £45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Surely having the heater on and the windows open "slighlty" is the answer. There is obviously moisture getting into the car when it rains so sorting the seals would be the first thing. I am not having this problem, maybe because of the age of the car or could the car cover.

H. It seems to help doing that on mine, but a dry day at the moment is hard to come by I will be looking at replacing all my door and boot seals next year, guess it's just the age catching up with us all now, I also need to do a slight adjustment on my Drivers window, I have been putting it off as it is scratched, so I will replace it anyway at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 where to get new seals then guys , as usual Mr T s going to be to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yup, having replaced all the seals for the aero roof, it still leaks like a mofo, so having to go and dryit out every other day until the garage door gets fixed and I can put it back in the garage, just worried about mould taking over at the moment .

Dnk Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I think you need better ventilation rather than new seals, put a de humidifier in the car when its parked up. Condensation is caused by different air temps on one side of the glass to the other isn't it, just like in my house, the windows don't leak but there covered in water droplets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slight leak with my aero seals too, I've tied some weather seal conditioner but its been left in my shop for the last few weeks so havnt tested it to see if its helped in anyway. If you don't mind could you pm me the price of a new set of seals please. Just as I see you have splashed out for some and I'm thinking of doing the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
