There's two really niggling things wrong with my WJ at the moment, and I wondered if anyone else suffers from the same things.  The first is wind noise from the offside when going about 55 or above - could this be knackered door/window seals, or is it just a general thing of the model?  Second is the amount of condensation on the inside of the windscreen.  I know this is a general thing at this time of year, but it seems that the rest of the cars in the street dont have it as bad!  Any ideas if and how I can reduce this?

Use the aircon to dry it out.

Also, if it is parked in the shade / sun it can be a bugger, even at this time of year.

Get some kitty litter & leave it open in the car for a few days, apparently works well  :icon_winkle:

cheers for the replies guys, love the kitty litter suggestion - gonna buy some at the weekend.  In a conversation at work the topic of condensation inside cars came up, and I told them your suggestion for fixing it and now they're all off to buy some too!!

Are there any seals that are prone to go on the WJ's?  I'm guessing they arent cheap, so would be good to start with a educated guess....

Try the dealers first then try Lighthouse, dealers might not be too bad.

On our old XJ it was the rear door rubber weather strips that were split that I had replaced. Sweet talked the parts dept to get a teck to fit em as some seals have little lugs they fit over, some dont so picked their brains along the line of "how would you ........."  :003:
