Condensation / Water inside the car

[Manny]

Hey guys,

So i dont drive my leon much atm, maybe twice a week or so, but when i do there seems to be alot of codensation on the windscreen and i noticed the sunroof was really wet and water has been dripping onto the passenger seat from it

Is this just due to the temp changes? Or is something causing this?

Mop it out, and take the cloths out of the car

A lot of people leave moisture in the car, then it just condenses again as the temperature shifts

It doesn't help that the AC doesn't dehumidify in the colder weather either

After 3 days of being stood I went out in mine yesterday, windscreen was soaking on the inside, I always use a microfibre to mop it up and another to clean it dry, was fine this morning.

Stick one of these in as well they make a considerable difference:-

Keep thinking about these but its where to put it (I know I can take it off and put it back on but ill know that ill always forget) with that in mind would this fit in the quarter glass panel at either side of the dash? Thinking about sticking them in there

I've chucked one under each of the seats, works a treat

Ive also noticed all the footwells are getting small puddles of water in them


Any clue on that guys?

 

[coggie]

I use small bags of silica gel which are most commonly found in the packaging of clothes / shoes when they're transported from the manufacturer. 5-6 small bags on the dash, pop them back in the ash tray cup each morning.

A cheaper alternative, works for me.

There will be little nipples in the door shuts, give them a few squeezes until water or dirt comes out. Sounds wrong but give it a go. The drain holes in the sunroof get bunked up and then the water can't drain out so slowly leaks into the car. Common issue on the mk4 golfs with sunroofs
