Car Dehumidifier

[tbc]

anyone got any recommendations?

or am i better just using the crystal bags that you use in the house

Crystal bags are worse than useless. The TVR gets wet inside quite regularly so I bought a household dehumidifier cheap on ebay. The model I have was something like £80 new but I picked it up for £30.

Don't bother with cat litter which will get recommended here shortly. I did and it made no difference.

Well funnily enough we are using cat litter (possibly on your recommendation!) and it is working well in keeping the car moisture free.

I'm using one of those dehumidifiers designed for clothes cupboards, it's egg shaped and you blast it in the microwave to refresh it. Has done a great job of sorting a persistent condensation problem.

I use a bag of rice in an old pair of tights,certainly reduces the internal misting this time of year.

Can I ask where you got it? I'm using a thing designed for caravans, which is doing nothing. So up for trying something else to avoid scraping the inside of the screen.

Heaters on full blast while driving and windows down a bit is your best bet.

Was that in response to my post?. I heard about the cat litter on here, I didn't recommend it. If it works well for you, you are welcome to what's left of the bag I bought.

What I have been doing lately is leaving the sunroof open slightly (it has a tilt function), just enough to vent humid air after I have been driving. The angle of the glass and the slope of the drive means that rain doesn't get in and the next morning I am finding less condensation inside. Another option would be those stick on window vent shade things that allow you to leave your window down a bit.

RainX Antifog Works a treat on car windows but also bathroom mirrors and household windows. It lasts for about 3 weeks at a time.
