Interior condensation

Tomduck · 02-25-2024, 04:13 AM

Anyone getting bad inside glass condensation? I never got any on my X3 but at the moment I get it almost everyday the temperature drops to 5c or less. Bought a 1kg silica bag, makes no difference.

I noticed a creasing of a seal on the top of tbe drivers door, maybe that’s the culprit?

Any thoughts?

Yep, wife gets it all the time when outside temps are ridiculously cold. Use the max setting and the A/C will come on and clear that up in no time...then turn of the max setting

No not had any issues at all with moisture, I make sure that the inside windows are really clean which can be a big factor in moisture getting on them. If they are dirty then it gets really bad.

We also rarely use air-con for various reasons which can at times make things worse.

I applied the CarPro FogFight. Haven’t gotten interior condensation ever since. Even with A/C settings turned off!

Would probably be a good idea to lift all your floor mats and feel around for wet carpet. Also inspect the area under the cargo floor.

got the BMW glass cleaner with anti-fog on Saturday. the white spray bottle in the pic.

Gave the inside of the windshield and front windows a good cleaning with it.

Hopefully, I can see some anti-fog properties. (although somewhat unlikely as temperatures are approaching 80 right now)
