Misting Up in Here

[M355Y]

Hmmmm happening quite often I get in my Leon Cupra and as soon as I turn the engine on the windows and I mean EVERY flipping window steams up so I have to turn the climate control thingy on full blast and the rear window demister and open all the windows but it is a pain.....I have even bloody gone and bought a demister pad lol

Does this happen to anybody else??

And if so WHY and HOW do I get rid of it???????????????????????????

Winters almost here.

I wonder if you've got a leaky rear washer jet - feel the carpet in the boot on the left hand side just under where the boot courtesy light is. If it's dry there, try down in the front passenger footwell just to the front left of it.

Nobody elses cars are doing it in my car park at home or my car park at work!!!!! Very strange it isnt coz of the fact it is nearly winter otherwise everyones cars would be doing it!

Tsk - just go out and check it will take you 30 seconds for peace of mind

Mines being do this too, wonder if it was from where its rained and then got chilly during the day and made it condensate on the inside.

 

[Barker1977]

It`s just the cold, damp weather. My car does it too, especially after a rain storm or on cold wet mornings. It`s the differenice in the temperaature in your car and that outside of it. Condensation.

I do think the Leon's and Toledo's steam up more than a lot of other marques. Basically come the colder, damper weather having the climate on becomes essential.

Dirty Windows mist faster....



Try cleaning them thoroughly with a a good window cleaner...

Had the same bug all weekend...

Newspaper is good to clean them with...

Greasy windows mist up in seconds...

 

[M355Y]

cool thanks ) and phew it isnt just me

 

[UncleFester]

I would still check those places just to be sure - mine doesn't steam up inside at all ... the only time it did was when i had water ingress.

Although if your car has filthy glass on the inside ( traffic film is a culprit here ) it will do it too.

I have the same problem with my Cupra, is annoying. And I have just cleaned my windscreen

When i was a chav and 17 my civic did this SOO bad when we was all driving round all night.

The Solution first was BIG coats and the windows open

Then i had a break though..... Clean your windows then.. ready for i... Get Johnsons baby lotion (pink moisturizer) and rub it on you windows leave it for a min then wipe off. Didn't mist up at all repeat once a week (or as required).

How how did i find this out. Well i got some on a mirror in my bathroom wiped it off then had a shower. There was a round spot on mirror with no steam.

Then like Archamediese i ran naked through my house out to the car. Got really cold and put some clothes on

Some of what you're on please ..


and newspapers to clean...... didn't they do that in WWII

I use a degreaser we have at work called spectrum, smells of Oranges and is a Blanket/Roller wash, works a treat and good for cleaning your alloys too

[Andy3004]

I've got some RainX anti-fog stuff which is 'supposed' to stop it....

not tried it yet though as the windows need to be cleaned properly first and I've been too busy!!

I'll try and do it this weekend so will post back how I get on!
