Is that water or some other sort of oil? When I first started using my defroster last year the windshield developed a film which I took to be oil form the heater/AC core. I cleaned the inside of the glass once or twice, and all has been well. If yours is water then perhaps you have something wet inside the car.

My defrost blows hard and hot in a hurry and rids mine of that sort of thing. Temperature and humidity dependent I assume.

Put the climate control on demist, adjust the temperature to your desired outcome, and then turn the air-con! This dries the air before it hits the windscreen and will clear it pronto.

On boxsters thats common in damp or rainy weather, on a Cayman not so much.
It could be that you have water inside the car, check the interior for water.
If everything feels dry it can help if you clean the window.

My Cayman with automatic climate control has one button for demisting the windshield. One touch and the fan goes on high, the temperature controls become inoperative set to to"Hi", the AC comes on, the vents direct air to the windshield, the general noise level goes up with the blower speed, red lights come on all over the interior, the nuclear power inverter engages, warp drive shuts off, and the laser cannons power up. No other climate control buttons work except the rear window demister until I turn off the noise maker. It's a one-touch operation. It clear the windshield okay, but it works faster if the engine is already warm.

I can't help but wonder, how did you fog up the windows so effectively? The console between the seats is a pretty tough barrier to overcome between the two seats.

None of my friends envied the (2-speed auto) Pinto wagon us kids schlepped around in high school.

Regardless, that was a true two-way sword ?

I liked the looks of the little Pinto....

The Pinto looked semi-cool, but the wagon...well, not so much.

Hi - I have the same issue (South East UK). The weird thing is that its completely random. Sometimes it happens parking up after a long drive, sometimes after a short run. I have also noticed it recently after the sun had been on the back of the car and the front had been in the shade.
I just fire her up, leave the doors open and leave the AC blower on until it's all gone.

Yes, seems really weird i wondered if this was to do with the car being mid engined temperature inside i seem to have this happen on the rear window too.

Thanks for your tip ill give it ago.

Unfortunately I think this is normal , I have it in my cayman, the only thing I do is keep the inside of the screen completely clean, obviously only happens when cold and damp but tends to be a lot worse if the car has been sitting in the sunshine, and then turns cold .... I also just before I am going to stop blast the air con in order to dry out the air a bit more . The back windscreen fogs up more I’m convinced this is due to the engine being inside the car . I had this same issue on my Macan, it’s a pain. I remember someone saying that they put cat litter in tights , and leave this in their car, and they say it works , as basically it’s the same stuff they use in humidity trays that you put in cupboards.....

Thanks for the tip i noticed blasting the aircon before leaving the car does the trick far better.

Been driving me mad for weeks.

Thank you

This might be a long shot but here goes.

I noticed mine was struggling to keep up with de-misting whilst driving and the same when parked up. It was then I checked my AC settings within the PCM where you habe three levels of HVAC output and mine was set to gentle and have since moved it to the normal setting. This is with Auto HVAC mind you. Once changed I noticed a considerable difference. The lowest setting couldn't keep up with the moisture inside and it built up.

Another thing to keep in mind is when backing into a space, most VAG vehicles will automatically go into recirc mode and if you turn off the car straight after you are shutting out any natural airflow. Newer systems will turn off recirc with the ignition off but this I've found is only on very recent new models. I for one then blast the demister after backing in to park which turns off recirc and found, at least on my daily, cured most of it.

Good luck

This is a good aircon tip, thanks for sharing. Let me try this for my vehicle.
