Condensation in Car

[rhiannon1234]

I could hear water swooshing about in my drivers side car door.

The water appeared to be leaking into the drivers footwell, but I couldn’t see where from.

I had hole drilled in door - solved that problem.

But I can still hear bit of water swooshing about in bonnet area, though I've been advised that may drain out itself within the next week or so.

Now I have a problem of condensation in car!

Plus it doesn’t help that due to weather at moment, I have to drive through a large puddle to get up the road from my house.

Any suggestions?

I would suggest you don't keep your car details secret then someone could help you.

check the drainage in the corner of the bulkhead, maybe a lot of fallen leafage in there, common at this time of year,
As for condensation, if the foot well has been soaked ,it will take ltterally weeks or maybe months for this to dry out without the help of blow heaters,
Try leaving a couple of windows slightly open when the car is in a secure place, and weather permitting.

Please forgive me, but where do I find the bulkhead? to check the drainage

Hi, as said by Logic, open your bonnet look in the are behind your car battery you will see 2 recces, 1 on the passenger side + 1 on the drivers side look inside these recces that's where the drain holes are, as said there will be leaves etc blocking the holes.

I will have a look on the weekend - when it's light!
After work last night, I wiped the windscreen, then put it on the fresh air windscreen setting – it kept it clear all the way home.
After the gym I used the re-circulated air to clear it quickly, then put it on to the fresh air windscreen to keep it clear for journey home.
The back windscreen I just press the rear button to clear it.

I wish the weather would dry up a bit, so the car would dry out, then when it rains again I can try & work out where the water is coming into car!

Hi, do you know anyone that has a wet & dry Henry hover? this machine will extract the water from the foot well inside your car, there is also beneath your carpet some flock installation, this get really wet & in-turn rots away if you do not get it extracted. I would do that as soon as you can.
