I use rain x on the outside and on my bike visors. I may well get some if I can get home due to the weather.

Does opening a rear window 1/2 " make any difference ?? If it does it might well be that the exhaust vents are blocked. If the air is not exhausted correctly it is the same as having recirc selected .. hmidity builds up rapidly.

The actual vents are in the boot, behind the flp on the right hand side. If you have stuffed a load of clothes etc in there it might be the reason.

The air gets from the cabin to these vents through several ways .. check they are all clear.

It sounds to me like a "lack of fresh air" problem causing high humidity.

opening a window does make it clear quicker, as it would, but worth checking the vents I suppose. Are these the 2 rectangular things at bumper height on the rs?

RH side of the boot, flap that gives access to the rear lights. Inside there but down the bottom and forward. Often blocked by old cloths, gloves etc etc ..

thanks for that, the most useful info yet. I have a rolled up blanket there but it shouldn't obstruct oo much, or will it. It still confuses me how it mists up so fast though, it's not gradual, it's as if water has been passed through the heater matrix, that sort of fast.

Ah, thats the yellow bottled stuff for outside, the inside anti fog is a black bottle but made by the same people

I'll get some. I was thinking about it so that's confirmed it. It'll have to wait until the ice thaws though it's horrible down here in the South at the moment

Depends how much it is obstructing the vents I suppose .. but if they ARE blocked it's like being on recirc all the time.... humidity builds up, you clear the screen, eventualy, with a blast of demist .. but the moist air is still inside the cabin .. so as the screen cools down again it mists back up .... and so on and so on ....

I would hoik the blanket out and try it for as few days with a completely clear vent area ... cost you nowt and might sort the problem ..

blanket hoiked and on way home soon. They were certainly part obstructed but not any more. Cheers, it can do no harm and it's good info to know
