back and front window misting up
#4
Get the inside really hot then drive around for 10 mins with the back windows open about 1/4 way down, this will dry the car out if it keeps happening you must have a leak.

Just check that you haven't got the air recirculation lever pushed onto "recirculate" rather than left open

You need to get air coming in from the outside unless you have aircon. The recircuilating air will contain all the moisture from your breath, steaming them up.
I had the same problem on my drive up to Donington last Sunday. I thought it was due to the fact I had three people in the car cause it just wouldn't de-mist . The next day I remembered I had switched it to recirculate to stop sucking in some dirty diesel fumes coming from a smelly van I had been following on Saturday evening. Switched it to fresh air and hey presto, clear windows!!

Dave, it isn't so much water getting in as you breathing . Cold windows and warm breath = condensation, so you need airflow to get rid of the moist (marvellous word) air inside...

Right, I'm beginning to realise I have been a proper muppet
I ALWAYS have full blast aircon, but with 'recirc' turned on - oh, and I always have to mop Niagara Falls from my windscreen and rear window before I can see anything.
I'll get my coat

You might need to get your aircon checked out. Regardless of how you have the recirc/fresh air lever set, your aircon should take the majority of the moisture out of the air because it works as a de-humidifier.
I find with re-circ on in my car, the screen and windows clear even quicker because the systems not having to extract the moisture from the air coming in from the outside.

If u like a warm car then I find it best to open your windows and let the warm air out before u park ur car and lock up. Basically your balancing the temp inside with that outside.
