Can't say I've had this issue with mine.

Paul

 

Thanks Paul.

Ye I have to use a cloth on it everyday. It’s really bad with the sun hitting it. Have to pull over and wipe it all.

 

Your windshield will generally fog up if the air is humid and warmer than the windscreen. As the warm air flows past the cool windscreen glass, the water vapour in the air condenses onto the cooler surface and you end up with a foggy windscreen.

To get rid of the fog, you can either dry out the air or heat up the windscreen.

 

It never happened over 4yrs with my old QQ/ unless in winter! It was 20C today and the sun hitting the windscreen for hours and as soon as I sat in the car I could see it. Worth taking it to the garage?

Are you sure it's a mist not dust? Yesterday I was driving west in the evening with low sun shining directly into my eyes (arrrrgh!) and the windhield seemed to be misty, however I found out it was a thin layer dust, not noticeable in normal conditions.

 

Your call but I am certain there is a thread here already discussing the same thing.

Not certain what the garage can do as it is not a vehicle fault

 

I am wondering if the aircon unit is too humid?
I will try and search for that.

 

I mean as it can’t clear the screen no matter what I try. That would be a fault to me

 

Maybe a trip to the dealer then to check if all is working correctly.

 

You don't have it set to `recycled air`...do you?

 

No, that's quite the wrong thing to do. Recycled air will have increasing levels of water vapour, from exhalation and perspiration. Use of air conditioning will
dry the air as well as cooling it, and should clear the misting. If the air is then so cold that the outside of the glass starts to show condensation, the answer is to add heat with the controls. Adding heat to dry air will actually assist the process, as warm air will evaporate the condensation more readily than cold air.

It helps if the surface of the glass is perfectly clean. Deposits of dust and grease (which may be difficult or impossible to see) will promote condensation.

 

Not all the time. Only in heavy traffic

 

You had already started a thread on this subject Scotland, why didn't you bring that to the top rather than starting a new one? Just asking!

 

Ye sorry I forgot that I had done that

 

100% as the cloth is damp after

 

Even after I cleaned it properly, even had it facing th sun so I could see any streaks etc, after I stated to drive condensation.

 

Have you tried the air recycling switch under the piano keys and air con always on?

 

Air con is always on and air recycling is off

 

Take it to the dealer and have it checked out, it could be that one of the flaps in the ventilation system is stuck, so you don't get the correct airflow.
