Cayman interior condensation

[FisiP1]

Hi folks,

This is my first winter with my Cayman(gen 1), unfortunately I don't have anywhere to store it undercover right now.

After driving into town and leaving it for an hour or so and returning, the interior windows are steamed up quite badly, but its usually fine first thing in a morning.

Now I'm guessing its a side window seal issue and although I have had experiences with that before on other cars, this seems worse. Could the heat from the engine be affecting it also, hence it being fine first thing in the morning?

Any fixes anyone can suggest are welcome, I'm over 2hrs from the nearest OPC though and I'd be loathed to take it in for just this. Also if anyone has any suggestions for dehumidifying gels or anything I can leave in there for the time being?

Thanks.

They all do that sir!!

Nothing to worry about its down to the atmospherics at the moment - mine is doing it also.

Thanks, of course if its common its not something I'd be worried about, I'm just not used to it.

maybe switch off a/c about 10 mins from home the night before

Not normal IMO, so just in doubt I would investigate:

- any damp under the seats ?
- door membranes (wet carpet on the doors?)
- blocked drains ? (near the battery).

Failing that it's probably OK but if water does find its way in, it can be expensive as the immobiliser is conveniently situated under the passenger seat.

mine does this as well

Sorry just re-read original post and saw it was fine in the morning (I had read it as if it was still there in the morning).

Should be Ok then but just quickly check my initial post just in case.
