There's no drainage hole but check for leaks into the car. Do you have AC? If so switch it on.

A/C dries out all the moisture in the air.

IT IS THE BEST thing you can do to clear misted up windscreens etc without doubt.

And you dont have to have the heat turned up either.

cool theres me with the front heater on full, demister on for the rear and half a window open , checked for leaks its bone dry in there and only gets misty when we in it .

Also make sure your windows are clean on the inside, dirty glass mists up very easily.

That makes a big difference i cleaned mine and they dont mist up much anymore

mines realy bad on the scoob at the moment. when i had the back window smashed alot of rain water got in there. I had a dehumidifier sat in there all last weekend trying to get some of the moisture out of the car :lol:

What do you guys use to clean the glass inside to eliminate misting up? Ive tried a few things and it just makes it worse and also when the sun shines through it looks like there are swirl marks from the product used.

Just buff it with a dry micro fibre cloth, it's the only way. All glass cleaners leave streaks, they're ****.

I Use Turtle Wax glass cleaner. Best i've come across. The smeer marks come off in seconds.

Before you turn off your car or A/C, turn the airflow control away from the windscreen setting. Leaving it on the windscreen setting seems to allow vapour to escape back out from the A/C and condense on your windscreen.
