I shall. Only problem once again is I work a 3 shift pattern, so finding daylight time is hard work. | |

Is your pollen filter dry/free from being in contact with water? Had a wet one before which caused a lot of condensation. | |

Weird, i've had mine done for around 2 weeks and this keeps happening too, assumed it was the weather :o | |

I would expect some condensation after a period of no use, but I was in my parents' house for 2 hours tonight. I left the car with a clear windscreen and when I got back in it, the whole passenger side was completely misted over, with condensation at the bottom. | |

All of our cars round the back that haven't been used much over the hols have thick condensation in the windows. | |

Id say its possibly not sealed properly | |

The trim around the glass makes no difference most likely a gap in the glue, air bubble etc | |

May also be the surface of the glass is attracting condensation. | |

He did fit a new seal out of the packet but will check it tomorrow and see if it's damaged at all. | |

They have a seal as well as being bonded iirc don't they? May have fitted the seal slightly wrong or re-used the original one which now isn't such a good fit? | |

Not as far a I know. Just the windscreen. | |

Got my new windscreen fitted 2 weeks ago, all seemed fine. |
