Car cover ... Maybe??

Hi,

My zed is parked up for winter and I noticed a lot of condensation on the inside. 

Would a cover stop this and if so, does anyone have one for sale?

I was getting a lot of condensation in mine too, and have cured this with 2 x 1 kg Silica Gel bags off eBay for £11.

Overnight I pop one on the dashboard and one on the rear cross member, and all the glass is clear even if it has been pouring down with rain overnight.

Prior to that I was busy with micro-cloths wiping down the glass with the air-con on before I could get going.

The bags are re-usable, just pop them on a radiator to dry them out.

IMO, the main issue is old deteriorating rubber seal on our old zeds  You can try to recondition them --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Stick-100ml/dp/B007TNOQDI/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MRA818TY51PE4NAQ0JE2 Mine improves a little bit after using this and I suspect they 14 years old seal has passed it expiry date.

I have just put a massive passive dehumidifier in but these are a good idea for when they are dead

 

Will also try the rubber treatment
