hi peggy, an old test was to take out the carpets and dry everything off, sprinkle talc all over and go for a drive in the rain, the tracks left should show where the water is coming from. hope it helps. |

It sounds great, tks very much!
However, the water was in the body of the car under the floor. I can't see how I can do that . . . . so far, it doesn't seem to have come back (let's keep fingers cross!) |

Peggy 603 views says it all really!
Ive bought some dessicant crystals from e bay that turn colour from orange to green when they absorb moisture. After one night in the car they have started to turn colour. So for an experiment i turned the a/c off on the run to work and the windows did start to mist in the rear but nowhere near as bad as before. E bay number 270682485429 maybe worth a go? Lynall |

3 days later and car is still clear inside.
I have washed it for the first time in weeks plus the damp weather so it would seem the crystals are doing a good job. I'm quite pleased. Lynall |

Washed it again and it did fog up again just on the screen,
so ran with a/c on to work and back and with a/c off its been fine since. The little crystals have turned dark from their initial orange so are getting moisture from somewhere. The two dark ones are now in the airing cupboard and are slowly turning back to orange in the warmth. Im happy car feels much nicer to drive with the a/c off. Lynall |
