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

call them, get them out to refit it in day light.

It's a pilkington one.

The first one they got was a shocking fit so they got another.

I just remember when he fitted it, it was dark and he quickly chucked on some sealant as it had started raining. He also commented on the previous screen (wrong one they fitted) was fitted too well.

is it a geniune BMW supplied screen, if not i expect its a shocking fit and would lead to issues

Speak with the supplier / fitter, wasnt doing it before so in a position to enquire.

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

Yeah that's a bit much like.

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.

That can't be right :lol:

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

Do you have climate / A/C on all the time? If you do that dries the air out - could have been just down to having it fitted on a day when the air was damp though in your case though.

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.

Not sure if you can leave the vents open or if there's any other way to let water out.

Mine does it if the inside of the car gets wet.

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

Just been out in the car and it was dripping wet at the bottom left of the screen.

It's so wet it's pulled my tax disc holder off.

doesnt sound airtight

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.

do the carpets feel wet?

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

Left the car for a week whilst I was away over christmas and came back to a completely misted up windscreen.

I put the heaters on in the car to clear it, but the same thing has been happening every night since friday.

Even if I drive the car 10 miles and leave it for a couple of hours, the screen will be misted up when I come back to it.

If I touch the inside of the screen, it is very wet.

could the fitter not have put enough sealant on when fitting it? It used to mist up very occasionally, but only in the place where it had a small.crack. Now its the whole screen even though it's brand new.
