Windscreen

[TheCarson]

Anybody any tips on how to stop an EV windscreen from constantly misting up?

Use your Air Conditioning.

I don't use the A/C, just make sure the outside air option is enabled (auto mists up like mad as the car has no humidity sensor), and the blow on screen is also selected.

Would this be different from an ICE?

 

[Ian Key]

I leave mine on all the time as set above and only adjust the temperature as required.

Ditto. In my case the temp is set at 22C (as I've had the HVAC update, so 22C now does what 25C did previously. Plus the HVAC seems better than before).

You don't have the demist vent selected?

 

[siteguru]

No - the car seems to prioritise the windscreen vents anyway when on Auto.

Same here as Ian, I want fresh air. I do go to re-circ when stuck behind a smelly truck or before using the wiper spray as I don’t like the smell of the water additive.

Normally no issues with misting. In extreme cases the demist button might be needed for a few minutes.

This I did not know. Thanks.

also a very basic one but clean any dust off the inside of the windscreen

I select it when I first get in the car and the screen is misted up but after it clears I find it's not needed.

I think you're talking different things ... @Ian Key do you mean you press the Demist button below the Infotainment screen if the screens are misty? (I think @tsedge was talking about the windscreen vent icon ... to the right of the airflow [recirc] icon).

You're right. OK I find I don't have to select either the button below the screen or the virtual button on the screen once it's demisted

I use this product in mine.
Also, I cleaned all windows with Acetone and I rubbed with paper.

Pay attention for that.
Never put acetone on plastic because it burn it or change color.

Since I use this method (October 24), my windscreen is new in 30 scds, fan full power 23°.

Hope this tips help

I'd be very, very wary of using acetone anywhere on the inside of a car. Far too easy for it to drip/spill somewhere it shouldn't.

I use Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning glass and metal surfaces but even with it you still need to be careful.

11 Things You Should Never Clean with Rubbing Alcohol

From tackling tough stains to acting as a disinfectant, there’s little this household essential can’t do. Avoid applying it to these surfaces or you’ll risk ruining them.

It's the go-to cleaner for prepping the duco of your MG4 before you install the fangs

 

[Labougie]

That’s why I used paper to rub windscreen
And all Windows (outsider)

If you are meticulous, and the bottle far away from the car. Normally no risk.

Use it with care , of course

Another option is to put one of those disposable dehumidifier packs in the centre tray. I put one in mine and although it's only been there for a couple of days it seems to work.

I have two 1 kg dehumidifier bags in mine, one on the dash and one on the rear parcel shelf, behind one of the headrests so it doesn't fly forward.
