RAIN RAIN RAIN

Postby STH » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:57 pm

Hello peeps.

As the winter is drawing near I have got two problems which needs to be sorted especially as its raining now.

1: New front wipers... are these any good. What would you recommend.

2. Now this one is a bit of a mysteriousness one. Both of my rear passenger windows keep misting up, even when there is only one person (driver) in the car?? Its a bit of a pet hate for me, streamed up window, so i will be so happy if it can be solved... photos to follow.

Cheers Shaun

Do a search for water ingress and have a look at the results.

The steaming up problem is still about. The recirled is not on, i always have the wheel to the outside air position. How do I check for water ingress. Cheers people.

sweet my bosh wipers have come today and i have fitted them. typically it hasnt rained yet. They look the part but my only grumble is that the packaging is poor with no protection. however they still came intact. :)

Yes from time to time. I find that the auto-demist button (depends on model) - but A/C on and vents to windscreen only with the rear windows open just a tiny crack provides the best demisting/airflow profile through the cabin.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

I would agree, a/c on will help, I pretty much always leave it on for damper weather..
