would expect better from a volkswagen based manufacturer.
My Ibiza is about a month old and every bloody light on the thing steams up if the weather is remotely damp!

I totally agree with you on this- mine did it about a month after I collected it. With the amount we pay for cars you'd think they'd find a decent solution [:@] . I have to say since mine were replaced they have been so much better, although do sometimes get a little misted but clears in no time, no actual droplets (Touch wood and all that). Make sure you take pics and get on to Seat about it. Good luck :)

my car has gone into the stealers to have a turbo gasket changed so i said while it was there could they have a look at at the misting lights and they have decided to to replace both headlamps under warranty havent got the car back yet but they better have put my bumper back on good with no scratches!
and i had a full tank too!

Well I did have a little misting in my nearside light but I have been driving around without either of the rear covers on for about five weeks now and despite the awful wet weather in the North both of my lights are clear as crystal!

mines are actually terrible looking, got the full beams and xenons on just now trying to blast them with heat to dry them out, also drilled some holes around the covers to try see if that helps.......blasted headlights.....anyone else came up with a solution, read the page 5 ones seem ok.

so what is the best solution? just drill some holes, or have to put some tube like one on page 5?
