Turbo Goose Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Whenever its cold, my car always condensates on the window pretty bad, theres nothing wet in my car because I keep it clea, just seems to always steam up way more than any other car Ive owned.I'm wondering if theres some sort of air circulation pipe? To let fresh air in, maybe its blocked.I read somewhere that u can put cat litter in a sock and chuck it in your car to absorb the moisture? Does that sound silly?Anyone else get bad condensation?

Liam_D Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I've noticed mine doing this quite badly recently too, had a look and I can't notice any dampness getting in. Will be interested to see what people suggest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Get under the car and under each front footwell there is a rubber bung. I've lost one of mine and its steams up like a absolute mofo and my carpet is damp from it as well.Just another one of them things I've been meaning to get around to asking for so thank you for reminding me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 My brothers ef civic has loads.One in his boot was a case of putting a hole in the buttom of the boot seal so the water could escape to the outside rather than the insideAnother was his windscreen wasnt actually attached because the glue/seal had dried up Now hes got one in the front and it keeps flooding out his fuel pump relay so he has wrapped it up in a couple of pairs of rubber gloves as he cant find the leak haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet SR Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The pollen filter can make your car steam up bad if hasn't been changed recently holding the moisture cause its full of debri etc Tail light seals are pretty common too Doors can hold water too if drain holes are blocked at the bottom of door Can make the inside all steamed up Fords are pretty bad for that Few ideas to try Haresign Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 On a GT the rear windows are a pretty shit design ( same for a ep91 ? ) and dont really close properly. I've got an inch deep pool in the spare wheel well lol, need to sort that before it goes on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Where is the pollen filter on glanzas? Is it behind the glove box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neo Gold Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah...mines only just started doing this & the car is bone dry inside...tail lamp seals were cleaned & refit.I'm going to buy both pollen filters tomorrow...blocked filters will cause the screen to mist on the insides in most cases..& make the blower motor work harder...(puts up a vacuum).A good idea to check the bulkhead water drains too...& try the air re-circ switch on the opposite setting.

Starlet SR Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Yea I'd start with the pollen filters if there's no apparent leaks Same thing happened on my Yaris New Pollen filter made it a lot better far less condensation Quote Link to post Share on other sites
