I know i know, this is a bit of a pathetic whinge but i've finally found something on the QQ that really annoys me.Due to the orientation on my house and the location of the drive my car suffers a lot with "dew" on the exterior glass outside of the warmer months.All my previous cars would "clear" most of this moisture just by opening the windows.On the QQ it clears not a jot, on any of the 4 windows, so i have to go get a rag / cloth to wipe them down and invariably, every day i forget to do it and i've already locked up.Lazy i know but it's the first time i've been irritated by wet windows.I suppose i'm hoping my windows seals / glass alignment is defective and i can get it "adjusted" but i suspect it's just the way it is.Edit: Anyway i've got it off my chest now so i'm all better :)

Haven't had that yet. We always have lovely weather in southern home counties.

My problem is the outside of the window not the inside.It's not steaming up it's exterior dew forming on the car.Edit: In response to the honest john bit.

Some LHD owners have complained about that too on another earlier post. I assume the orientation on theirs is different to our RHD models.

The acoustic windscreen has nothing to do with the windscreen mist not clearing. Acoustic windscreens are a laminated glass with a layer of acoustic PVB (Polyvinyl butyral) inside the two pairs of glass instead of normal PVB and it is designed to cut down noise transmission.
