RobG Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 halfords sell a condensation catcher for about 4 quid, look in the caravan section. It's a plastic tray that you put white crystals in, they absorb the moisture from the car and drop it into a catch tray below, which you can then empty out. Takes a little while to start working, but i've found it quite effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 As above check the mats - I have rubber mats which collect water and pointing the heater to the footwell will make the water evaporate but when you park up it will just condense out on the windscreen and turn to ice if it's really cold. Best thing is to take the mats out the car to dry them, leave the blower pointing to the windscreen or face when driving, and leave the air recirc button pushed in when it's parked up.

bossjohnc Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 One way to avoid condensation build up is to always have the fan on when the car's on. Make sure it's at least set to '1' for a constant circulation of air. I know of people that drive with their blowers off all the time and their cars stink of damp.

bossjohnc Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 yerr i found that! i always park it pointing uphill on my drive do you reckon i should take the carpet up slightly to help it dry or just let it dry as it is, i can hear the water scwelching when i press down on the floor!!so i will just get the window re-sealed, my uncle said i should take a hammer to it and get it replaced via insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
