Steaming Up

I'm having a problem with the windows steaming up (no sniggering), predominantly the drivers side and the rear drivers window.

Anybody having similar problems and if so managed to sort it out?

RE: Steaming Up

Can I suggest you make sure you are using the climate control if you are not. It has the effect of preventing such issues and does not take much power. I find that I have absolutely no problem as I have it on permanently - after all that's what it is there for.
Cheers

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

RE: Steaming Up

Whilst auto may be on, is the AC still on as this would dry the air (it is possible to switch off the AC whilst Auto is on) ?

Re: Steaming Up

I have the same problem if more than one person is in the car. Having Auto and A/C on seems to make no difference. Very peculiar as in ever other car I have owned having the AC on prevented this.

RE: Steaming Up

Interesting... mine too has just started steaming up.
Yes, Auto and A/c cures it, but I did wonder why there was so much 'damp' in the car to cause it in the first place.

Plus to answer the q up there ^^ Yes cjfp, you can have it on Auto with the A/C off.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

RE: Steaming Up

Mine too, never had that in a modern car before! I have to hit "Max" every 5 mins or so to demist the car. I haven't spilt or let any water into the car so a bit odd.
