Hello Folks
I recently became the proud owner of my first ever mercedes benz and consequently a new member of MBClub UK
So far am very happy with the car, its a beautiful car that drives really nicely and its the right colour.
However, there is a small problem.
The windows don't seem to de-mist properly.
Its especially bad when there are people in the car.
When the windows start to steam, I do as the manual says, AC off, temperature wheels set witht he white part (even tried increasing the temperature) in the middle and blowers set for air to come out at the windscreen and dash. Oh yes, and the centre vents I close.
The windscreen does demist a bit i.e bottom half is fine but top half just stays the same.
The front side windows start to demist slightly also, forget the back windows they just stay in a permanent state of misted-ness.
Air is definetly coming out of the vents nearest the windscreen and at the side at the correct temperature.
If I set the fan to the highest speed maybe de-mists a little bit more but nothing great.
Oh yes, one last thing to mention. Before I bought the car the dealer replaced the windscreen due to a bad stonechip/crack type situation.
I am assuming the correct one was fitted, it certainly looks fine.
Anyhow, thats all the information I can think of relating to the problem.
Anyone with information/similiar experiences would be most appreciated.
I am probably going to book in with mercedes-benz, the warranty I have is one of those that excludes wearable items, but I'd like to have some idea/understanding about the problem myself before going down this route.
Thanks and Kind Regards
