Hi guys,

So my deluxe doesn't have a heater, which honestly doesn't bother me that much. The one issue I do have, is when driving in the rain. Without a demister of any kind, it doesn't take long for alllll of the windows to become very misty (on the inside). Is there any kind of product you can put on the glass to stop is misting up? I have some rainex for the outside, but is there something for the inside?

Cheers
James

Open the quarterlight window and direct air across the screen. Yes you might get a bit of water inside if it is really raining but at least you can see where you are going.

Yep, It's called Fog-X. I've had decent success with it one one of my previous cars (non mini).

Back in the day, 12V demisters were sold, they suction cupped to the bottom of the screen. They worked well, but I've not seen one for years.

They pop up on Ebay UK from time to time. Not cheap though normally!

Cut a potato in half, smear the juicy side all over the inside of the screen and then polish off. That will keep the inside mist free for a week or more... Old Navy divers trick for their goggles...

Cheers, Ian

This should keep the screen clear, and probably you warm as well !
