6R/6C Windows Misting

[Bailes1992]

Does anyone find that the Polo 6R/6C has a real issue with windows misting up?

My partner replaced her 13 year old Astra G with a Polo 6R in December. Nearly every morning since we've had it the windows are misted up and using the blowers they take about 10 minutes to clear.

I have taken it on long road trips with the A/C on, heaters on the floor with the windows open ajar to try dry it out and I've bought dehumidifier pads to help solve the issue to no avail. All the windows have been cleaned to within an inch of their life and I've tried a few different treatments on the glass. I've had the interior apart looking for leaks and damp but everything seems dry. The car has been back to VW to have it looked at along with a few other issues and they said they couldn't find anything.

We have had 2 Polo 6Cs as courtesy cars off VW and both of them have been exactly the same which puts my mind at ease but it's still an annoying 'characteristic' none the less. I'm currently driving around in one of them (66 plate Match Edition TSi) and today had to do my 35 mile commute with the heater on the windscreen and the A/C on all the way, if I turned it off the windscreen started misting up almost straight away.

Anyone experience the same with the 6R/6C?

There are a couple of recent threads on the forum on the subject of condensation (links below). Seems to affect some but not others.

You've mentioned that you've had the air con on on long trips. Do you have it turned off at other times? I keep mine on 24/7 and also did this in my previous 3 VW's (and all the non-VW's with air con I owned prior to that) and have never had a problem with interior condensation. Have you checked your pollen filter? If it becomes blocked / waterlogged, it will create the conditions for condensation to form on the inside of your windows.

Buff shaving foam into the windows. Problem sorted

Sound silly, but do you have recirculating on? Mine mists quick if I leave it on when trying to defrost the car.
