Zugara Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 i get same in mine, comes and goes, you can always take the light units off and put them in your airing cupboard to dry out, but i would think it will return, if you have extended warranty, it wont be covered either.

rtbiscuit Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 remove the front wheels undo the wheel arch lining, gain access to the back of the lights, take off the back covers and aim a hair drier in there. best to do it on a day with low humidity. fit back together. might not be a permanent fix, but should help.

clarkie34 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Take the arch liner off,remove side light and stick a hairdryer on the hole but not to close as it will melt the plastic. Either the seal on the plastic cap on the back of the main beam is goosed or the lights themselves need some silicone running round them.

rtbiscuit Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 big bag of open rice (uncooked) also check and possibly silicone grease all your weather seals. and as attak says turn on your aircon; it not only blows cold air, but when on generally works as a dehumidifier and takes moisture out of the air.

M9O OEY Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks have siliconed all seals it's when I open the car up sometimes it's as though someone has poured small amounts of water over the dash and windscreen. Maybe its time for the rice î„… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
