gets rid of humidity very quickly.

#7: Re: steamy windows Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 7:08 pm ---- Open the back windows slightly.
The steam/condensation on you windows is caused by moisture in the air. People generate moisture,
Warm air carries moisture cold air can't hense the condensation.
Open windows to allow the warm air to carry the moisture out side untill car is dry inside. You will need to carry on doing this as people generate moisture by breathing constantly.

As above there is a lot of moisture in peoples breath. If you don't replenish the air with fresh air from the outside that moisture from their breath builds up more and more.
The reason aircon helps demist is that the moisture in the the air condenses on the aircon unit because when the aircon is on that is very, very cold thus removing moisture from the air. Aircon on and heater set to hottest setting means you have very dry warm air inside the car. Perfect for removing condensation.
Other things to check:-
Damp carpets from any leak?
Mates spilt a drink in the car?
Clogged or damp pollen filter?
If you have a Roland Garos sun roof then with the inner blind pulled across moisture settles on the inside of the glass of the sun roof. When air circulates it picks this up and that then settles on the side windows. Pull the inner blind back and wipe the sun roof dry. This caused havoc with my daughter's car before we found out what was happening.
Finally, with this very, very wet atmosphere at the moment with 4 adults in the car it might struggle a little at the moment.

#12: Re: steamy windows Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 6:18 am ---- as said above just turn the A/C on even with temp set to warm it will clear your windows.
#13: Re: steamy windows Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 6:52 am ---- try changing the pollen filter
#14: Re: steamy windows Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 10:54 am ---- Yes, as my post, a new pollen filter can make a big difference.
#15: Re: steamy windows Author: Nellie, Location: DevonPosted: Fri Dec 27, 2013 1:45 pm ---- a/con on is the answer, but once you start to use the air con to clear the windows it becomes the only way to clean them until the car gets a through flow of fresh air like in the summer.
