Car cover ... Maybe??

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 :surrender: 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
