Dashurik Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is that normal for zed to have steamed windows every time it rains.? It does take time to get rid of it and mainly if I put aircon on blowing on windows.. It pisses me off! Every time I park during the rain and when come back in 10min it's like Turkish sauna! Steamed windows all around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanHill Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ive had this problem in the rain in a few cars now. Does seem very odd to me. If anyone has any tips that would be awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Quite normal Just leave the aircon on. Make sure that climate is set to air from outside, and not recirculating. Recirculating really steams it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Lynx Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I thought all zeds had climate control rather than air con? I know mine does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Get some large silia gel packs off eBay for a few quid and hide them in the cabin, they should absorb any excess moisture in there. Then, when they start to be less effective dry them out in the oven for a bit . They work surprising well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 On a wet day its high humidity to start with. If you're recircing air then the humidity will increase greatly due to exhaled breath ....... ...to the point where it condenses out on the colder windscreen. Use chilled aircon and fresh air. The cold air that hits the screen will be dryer taking away the mist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
