RDON Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 is it me! or does any one else have the same problem, the rear window seems to mist up really easy and even if you get it cleared and then come back to the car in say ten minutes, its all misted back up again. ?????? is there anything i can use to treat the window to stop it?

GMballistic Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 My rear window mists up as well rickdon but wouldn't exactly say it was a problem. I just use the rear demister to clear it which doesn't take long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyZed Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's probably because you have a lot of condensation trapped in your car, wind the windows down and drive around for a few minutes to try to let it escape. Should be better after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Get some large bags of silica and leave it in a tub over night or buy moisture traps from eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I get this in mine all the time! Just ordered some moisture trap bags from ebay. See how we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Use the air con - ZEDs are prone to misting if not used. Just dial up the temperature if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I get the same, put a bag of silica in the boot and cleaned the inside of the window with Methylated Spirit ..job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drginger Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I also drive another car when I need 4 seats, its a lovely rover 25 and I get moisture on the inside of every piece of glass in that thing all the time so I actually consider the 350 very good for inner mist!!

Guest Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Related issue here, I don't have the setting on re circulate, no water leaks anywhere but twice lately I have had to pull over on a main road cause the condensation just got so bad couldn't see a thing. The whole car was dripping. This is with air con on full blast & it works, heaters work fine to. I've read this can be cured by changing the pollen filter, but research on here says we don't have 1, any other cures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should find that as soon as you switch on the air con and set to screen demisting in auto mode it trips to re-circulating - what you want so that it is not dragging in cold air from the outside as that will not help the system to work effectively. See pages 4.9-4.10 of the 350 handbook As Will says - no pollen filters on the Zeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks guys for responses, as I said above did use search first & sussed there is no pollen filter, was hoping with the zed might an alternative cure, heh ho, never mind. Not sure on auto setting mine defaults to re circulate thou, will check that out. Seem timely to say Merry Xmas to anyone sad enough to be reading his!!! Enjoy the hols all.

hensh65 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Tint the window and then put a spoiler behind it so you can't see out of it,,,, problem sorted kind of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 ^ all the above but also the door seals could be the problem, get some gumi pfledge or similar, softens the rubber and makes a better seal round the doors. You will know if it's a problem if the windows stick on a frosty morning as air/moisture has got between the seal and the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Just had a look at that Gummi stuff but think I'm going to get some ordered and give it a go see if it helps with mine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
