I have started to notice quite a bit of condensation this time of year on the inside of the windscreen. so I bought a couple of those dehumidifiers that are in a bag absolutely useless. has anyone used one with any success
I use the small plastic tub type, £4 for 6 at any bargain price store.

I use the PINGI ones that can be recharged in the microwave.
Not perfect but they deffo reduce the condensation in the car.
I usually find if there is a lot of condensation - the water is getting in somewhere.
Are your carpets damp ?

I made my own out of a litre ice-cream tub about a quarter full of aquarium foam (to absorb the liquid produced) and topped up with dehumidifying crystals which are cheap if you buy a large bag.
I leave this open in the passenger footwell when the car’s on the drive and put the lid on when I’m using it.
Works a treat.
Bullit lives in an unheated garage and she’s fine until I get in and start breathing then all the windows fog up
Go figure the heat in my cream crackered old lungs !!
So windows up/windows down for a bit until the engine heats up then she crystal clear [plus heated rear wind screen]
When Madge was kept outside and I noticed the battery well was damp I used a large walking sock filled with kitty litter that kept the well dry for six months.

Put a couple of kilos of rice in a cloth bag, a pillowcase works well, put that in the car and it will absorb moisture from the interior.
Place the bag in a warm oven from time to time to dry the rice out. This works really well and is very cheap. You can use the same rice indefinitely.

Over the last few weeks with the snow & ice - I find that there is a light frost on the inside of the hood in the morning ( car parked outside 24/7 )
When I am warming the car up - I use a drying towel to completely dry the inside of the hood.
I get a tiny amount of condensation if I don’t use the PINGI’s
My car has no condensation or leaks when the weather is above freezing.

I’ve got a couple of the bags in mine and they do absolutely nothing.
