Title: problem in the rain
Post by: jarekjeep on October 21, 2012, 06:35:29 PM

Hi Birtys,
Just the simply question. I have all the time in the rain mist on the windscreen. If I set blower on it can't see a lot in see windows.when I put warmer air it's even worst. Have you got similar problem? Any ideas? Please do not answer me to not drive in the bad weather.

It's pre lift xj. Air conditions works as bi level, norm and max. Other settings are off, windscreen, heat,vent? If I put it on screen can't see anything in mirrors cause must on side windows, when I put it on vent and air blow on sides in short time can't see to much thru front screen. Such a amount thing.

Heater rad behind/in dashboard busted, blowing steam onto window in stead of dry air.  Had it with the V8 WJ.

Dashboard out job or some rad-seal if your lucky.

Is it possible that the heater/ac drain may be blocked and hence water is building up in the heater? Are you having to top up the rad regularly>?

One thing that may help wherever the moisture is coming from is cleaning the windows. Any dirt on the windows attracts moisture.

Yes I need to top up rad around once a week. I have tiny leak from the top rubber hose going to/or from the rad iator. And four weeks ago I sticking the really deep my. Have tried to go across the pound. A water was just 40 cm and another 50 of mud underneath.hehe. It was proper fun. Later I drove in this pound in the tractor. All village was watching my fight..owner of the tractor did it couple times before so I knees where to not go because it's to deep. Anyway it is possible it's still something blocked by mud.will find in the daylight.thank you
