Misted windows (closed)
Got some slight misting on the inside of the front windows, is removing the small plastic corner plugs any kind of solution? If so anyone have a suggestion for removal without damage?
Thanks.

This seems to be quite common, it happens on some of my windows and seems to happen when it's in sunlight. It will clear of its own accord and is nothing to worry about. You could remove the small plugs but I don't think it will help much.

Write your comments here...As said above, it is very common especially at this time of year when the air inside the window gets warm in the sun and cold wind cools down the outer sheet of perspex. If the misting is only slight leave well alone and it usually
clears back to normal.0 -
Some information in this thread

I have seen a document on the internet with more detail but can't find it at the moment. A Google search on misting caravan windows will no doubt locate it.
Mine are misted at the beginning of every year but after a couple of trips out and some sun the mist disappears.

Ref 024 – Condensation in caravan windows
If your caravan windows ever mist up with condensation it is easy to worry that there is a fault with the window. However this is not the case, the windows are designed to be ‘breathable’, and are not a sealed unit, so may well condensate with the change in weather conditions from time to time. If it is just a small amount of condensation and it’s a sunny day, positioning the van window facing the sun will often dry it out in no time. Otherwise we advise all customers with this issue to temporarily remove the small clear plastic window bungs to allow the window to ‘breathe’ and clear itself, and pop them back in once cleared. Take care when removing the ‘bung’ as they can drop inside between the two window ‘layers’.

Another recent post about this issue suggested using a fish tank air pump to 'flush out' the damp air after removing the plugs. To be honest I get a slight misting sometimes at this time of the year or if i wash the van on a hot day, but it's never been
something i've worried about - a d/g window is supposed to create a temperature gradient, so it shows they are doing what they are supposed to.0 -

As this is a duplicate of a similar thread I'll close it to avoid duplicating the topic.
