Default Condesation in my boot.

My cossie is a sod for steaming up inside the car.I noticed the boot floor was wet.I checked to make sure the back lights werent leaking.They arnt leaking.I then noticed the inner rear quarter panels were wet and the boot lid was wet.Is there any way i can stop this.The vents in the boot arnt clogged up.





the rear quarter panels look the same as the boot lid.

Ive took the big foam part out of my boot cause my bass box wont fit in with the foam on the boot floor lol.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Check the flaps on the inside rear lower quarter panels, these are designed to help the car breath

you need to dry it out Glenn, i've done my Octavia Vrs today as it happens, its a vicious circle.

my back window was dripping wet on the inside and looked white all the time from the condensation. take carpet out and dry in doors and if you can put a small heater in the car with a window slight open.

you can get throw away dehumidifers for under Ł1 and they are really good,last couple of months too until they are full of water

i keep 2 in boot,1 in back seat and 1 in front when car is laid up over the winter

but you could jam 1 in boot somewhere if your useing car

spoiler screws or boot seal have hindered me in the past.
