thesingh 0 Posted January 18, 2016 Hi all, Just wanted some advise on steamy windows and heating. As most of you can relate driving the Rado in the winter is not the ideal car, esp when its cold and windows are steaming up. I was wondering what I could do to improve this? Change the Heater matrix? Is there anything else that could help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 18, 2016 Changing the heater matrix will only make a difference if it's leaking or very blocked, and takes a long time to warm the car. Someone mentioned a kampa damp buster the other day which looks excellent, so may well be worth the investment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 18, 2016 I do it on my bathroom mirror to prevent it steaming Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 18, 2016 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kampa-Buster-Caravan-Motorhome-Moisture/dp/B002PCTXOK Wouldn't it be awesome if the base bit was the same size / shape as the ash tray cut-out in the centre tunnel... hmm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 18, 2016 Thats a good tip. How long does it last ie how often do you need to repeat it? Not sure, I guess it depends if you wipe the inside of the window wearing the coating off. Having said that, my bathroom mirror has been steam free for a few weeks, even with me rubbing it with a towel every so often. Not actually tried it in the car yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR-Sixy 0 Posted January 18, 2016 There's a similar trick bikers use to stop the inside of their visor misting up. One single drop of Fairy Liquid on a rag - smear it on the inside of the visor until it dries, and then buff off. I used to do this when i had a bike and it does work...... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray1965 10 Posted January 19, 2016 As for moister soaker upper, i'm using two socks filled with cheapo cat litter had them in a week now and there is now minimal steaming when the car is stood. Just put them on a radiator in the house after a while to dry out, can be used over and over again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR-Sixy 0 Posted January 19, 2016 I made two 'pillows' padded out with holofil fibre stuffed with Silicone Gel in the middle to go on top of the dash. Will post up a picture later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
