The other halfs SLK seems to get a lot of moisture on the inside of the rear window to the extent that it is dripping on cold nights.
It seems to effect the side windows too, bit too a lesser extent where its more of a clouding.
Putting the HRW on & heater gets rid of the problwm but its back soon after, just as bad.
Can anybody offer any advice on a fix pls?

Thanks

I use moisture absorber which I get from Tesco. There are 3 to a pack and they are in a square sachet about the size of the palm of your hand. I put one in each of my cars and it pretty much eradicates the problem. They last two or three weeks and go like jelly when they are shot.

I get this if I leave the car out of the garage on cold nights and unless you have damp carpets is just moisture from the air and wet shoes on the mats and the air con.

Have you used them in an SLK(assume so from your handle?)

Yep........... I leave it in the door pocket and if leaving the car for a while place it on the console or the dash top.

As the interior and boot are not sealed from each other
check under the spare wheel cover/tools for water.
