Anybody else struggle with pinlocks misting up? Sometimes it will be absolutely fine and other times it mists up, it appears to be fitted ok but keep getting fogging issues between the visor and the pinlock. Last night it cleared after about 90 mins and then was fine for the rest of the journey, when I checked it it was seated ok with no obvious gaps. Guessing it's down to extremes of temperature from being warm in the house to going out to very cold outside and takes time to acclimatise

You need to use the two little plastic screws at the edges to adjust it to make it tight. Mine wanders sometimes, once I re-adjust it's fine. Doesn't mist up even in recent temps.

Once you have adjusted, go all round the edge with the corner point of a piece of paper and see whether you can get it under anywhere. if so, re-adjust!

Had adjusted it with the screws and thought it was properly seated but thank you that's a great idea re the paper will try that

CAPPO, brilliant thank you, just went back and tried the paper test and had a tiny break in the seal, had another play with the screws and think I must have overtightened it last time, so should be all good now
