westfalia plastic window misting

Post by s60owl »

Have a westy joker with plastic double glazed windows. The side window above the fridge/ stove unit has misted up on the inside. Anyone have any tips regarding getting rid of this. Was thinking of removing the two tiny sealing bungs and blowing warm air in via a hairdrier? Will this make things worse though?

Anyone had the same problem and if so did you manage to cure it?

Cheers

Hi
You could try removing the 2x plugs and try blowing air through it with a hair drier "I know easier said than done" but worked on mine.
Then fitted the plugs using a blob of silicone
