There is a fix to stop the hot air flow that happens when moving. Cant remember how it is done though!

Only ever had this when the screen's been cold. A bit of hot air normally clears it. Is the screen nice & clean. Might be worth trying some traffic film remover followed by Rainex. I presume the wiper blades are in good nick ?

the glass is lovingly cleaned all the time along with the body n stuff..

the wipers are good, thank the lord cos thats all thats letting me see !

its the hot moist air, driven up thru the engine bay by motion or fans. when it hits the screen it condenses. like it wud.

Turn the aircon on, then the inside gets colder than the outside, then the inside fogs up but you can clear that with the warm air ducts on the windscreen? Hope that helps?? If all else fails turn it all off and open the windows!1 At least it sounds good then?? Arent they fun lol.

this happened to me the other day, it was because a pool of rain on the scuttle pannel fell on to the exhuast and the steam blew onto my screen.(whilst standing still) once on the move it quickly cleared.

Ditto, only time this ever happened to me as well.

Rain-x is a must though. I don't know if others are the same but my wipers won't cross a slightly damp screen without it, they just don't have the grunt.
