Condensation on windows

[listercat]

Using the cerb over the past couple of days I have found it a bit of a nightmare trying to clear the inside of the front windscreen in the mornings. Is it normal to have lots of condensation or have I got a leak somewhere? If the culprit is a leak(s) could someone kindly direct me to possible areas of concern and how to remedy them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Place your hand on the carpet down by your feet or on the passenger side, if its feels wet then thats the culprit. I think most of them do this, and still in the process of trying to stop this myself...

Any one know how, only seems to be coming in on driver side?

Do you have air-con? If so run it and it will dry the air inside the car.

Yeah got a/c, I tend use that trick in my other car and it works a treat (apart from the fact that you freeze your nuts off for a bit), I'll give it a go in the cerb. But really just wanted to know if it's normal for the condensation, which it sounds like it could well be....

The reason I got a bit concerned was that I got into work early today and when I bumped into a work mate later this morning his comments were 'had a look around your car earlier and all your windows were steamed up, have you got a leak?' also had comment from someone else.


Satman, thanks for the link to the other thread, I'll take a look at the carpets over the weekend and go through the check list. Cheers

If you have seen the Technical Bulletin from TVR you will know that basically...... The Whole Car Leaks!! It shows over 30 points of ingress on the front and rear of the Cerbera!

Lots of Silicon required!

I'm getting twin morroso heaters installed, now will get hot within a minute - no need for aircon pump, the heaters have built in electrically powered dehumidifier and ioniser... Cant wait to have the feeling of just jumping in and driving after warmup...

I used to have a tonne load of leaks in the first cerbera, but the current one has none whatsoever (touch wood)... theres a lot of cheap spot sealing in these cars... I'm afriad the actions are right - pick up a few tubes of silicone sealer and do as much as you can - there are areas you cant do without dismantling a few things... maybe Joolz can offer this as an upgrade? Leak-Free Upgrade....

Hi John,

Stupid question coming up

Have you taken out the red plugs that I put in the screen vents?

Hope the car is behaving - my garage is STILL empty.
