Condensation??

Postby MSI64 on Sat Dec 22, 2007 10:07 am

Tons of condensation inside my car and I mean tons of it. When I back out of my parking space it runs off my roof any ideas why and how to remedy it?? Someone said it may be seals bit I have checked and they all seem ok. Am thinking of covering it at night will that help?

Check all the drain holes are not blocked, poke some wire down or blow with air line to unblock

Whilst checking for damp, look around the screen edge for a milky discoloration, check that its not running down and in via the ‘A’posts in the foot well.

Well not a drop of condensation this morning :D

Cleaned out all my seals and for the first time since I bought it the side windows actually clipped shut so think my problems are over.
