cab frost problem

Hi, im new to the forum and need some advice!
I have an 87 golf cab, with this cold weather, frost has been forming on the inside of the windscreen, which makes it a pain just to defrost in the morning!
The hood is brand new, and all seals seem ok.Is this a common problem and should i stop moanin or is it somethin to be concernrd about.
Thanks in advance,Steve

My blue cab always had a layer of ice on the inside in the mornings.

The white one I currently drive doesn't seem to have the problem so much, although it is a bit frosty round the edges on the coldest mornings.

The only answer I ever came up with was to go out and start the car and blowers 10 mins before I wanted to go anywhere!!

the problem lies to there being moisture in the car.  when you driving along next get it hot inside the car and have the windows open a crack to allow some air to escape hopefully the heat will pick up the moisture out off carpets/seats headlining etc and take it out the window.

Agreed, moisture in the car will mist the windows up and then freeze when it gets really cold. The only way to combat it would be to keep the heater on full and go for a long drive to sort it out.

(this is why my car is never frosty: the hotter inside the better….). I might go and clean my windows now though….all this talk of window-related stuff.

And fix my pedal.

If its leaked before the sound deadening under the carpet will be wet and the only way to dry is to take it out of the car and dry it. Its amazing how much moisture they can absorb and the carpet still appear dry on top.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I had a Mk2 Escort that had a leaky front window about 20yrs ago. The sound proofing would get really wet and the car would steam up. I was forever taking the carpet out to dry it until I worked out what the problem was.

can vouch for this too…

it stays wet all winter , only the hot heat and dryness of summer will get them dry i think
