My friend and his wife took us out for a meal last night in his Nissan
X-Trail. I noticed he had some problems seeing out of the back when he was
parking, and it turns out that, he reguarly has a condensation problem
with the vehicle. Apparently if he's driving along, and the outside
temperature changes, he's likely to get quite severe condensation on the
inside of the front screen (in particular). It is so bad that he has to
pull over in order clear it.

Anything obvious he's missing, (apart from using the demister) or
something maybe specific to this vehicle. Thanks for any advice.

All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)

this may be down to not turning the air intake to fresh air, a blocked
pollen filter, a blocked heater drain or not having the air con turned on.

Mine is prone to steaming up the screen abit without the a/c on, but its not
anything like as bad as what the OP describes.

I would firstly change the pollen filter and check the HVAC isn't on

Thanks very much guys, I've passed your suggestions on to my friend and
hopefully he'll be able to sort it.

Cheers.
