Wet inside windows!!
Re: Wet inside windows!!
Hi
I haven't had this problem with my XF, but I have had a car do this in the past - not only that, when it starts freezing you'll find yourself with thick frost ON THE INSIDE!!
I don't understand the science of why it happens (something to do with a fast temp change outside and not fast enough inside I've been told) but the following seemed to work:
Before parking the car at night, I put the windows down and turn off the heater for the last couple of minutes of the journey. This cools the inside of the car down a lot (although freezes you in the process) and makes any temperature change a lot smaller when you've locked the car, thus avoiding the same amount of condensation / fog forming on the windows.
Also, as per the other post in the forum just now on fogging, make sure you give the windows a good clean to avoid moisture clinging to the dirt.
Anyone else got any other suggestions or know the reason for this?? All you clever folks speak up now...

And no the windows are fine.
