RRS Steaming up now that it has got cold

This may be a non-issue but since it got cold a couple of weeks ago I have noticed that the drivers side of the interior (windscreen to rear passenger window) steam up when I park up at night. Always that side of the car first and much less everywhere else.

I have a dog but the back of the car is dry, there is no water under the mats, nothing appears to be leaking from the a/c inside the car and I can rule out rain as it still did it when it hadnt rained for 3 days.

I've not pressure washed it under the bonnet or wheelarches......(just a hosepipe under the wheelarches)

Any ideas? Is this normal on RRS ? RRS TDV6 SE Java Black +towpack +tintent +Permagrin

Mine steams up if the A/C blows cold air on the windows when MrsY messes with the vents.... also if its really humid here and it is all the time, then it steams up as soon as we get in first thing in the morning. One blast of the prgm de-mist and its gone

Another tip I figured out is keep the windows clean inside as if they are mucky then moisture condenses faster than on clean windows ....

Also open the windows if you have company Whistle Rolling with laughter Brit across the Pond Wink

Its to do with whatever you park alongside.

My is alongside a hedge, as is my wifes 206cc and both get the condensation first on the side nearest the hedge. Of course really bad days and it is all covered, but it starts with the hedge side first. The hedge side is north so there is no sun on that side either.

I hear what you are saying but is that on the inside? My disco used to be parked in exactly the same place and never had this problem ..... although I just realised I have a vent on the drivers side of the RRS that was not there on the Disco......does anyone think the wing vent could be causing this? RRS TDV6 SE Java Black +towpack +tintent +Permagrin

The sure way to stop misting is to ensure all windows are clean internally
