Title: Rear window mist!!
Post by: FDRZRich on February 17, 2003, 05:18:52 PM
Does anyone else have a problem with the rear window misting up all the time on their 3rd gen RX? My \'96 seems to do it nearly all the time, not just when its been raining, and I don\'t know why!! I\'m thinking maybe water coming through the spoiler mounting holes, but I\'m not sure....

Yeah, my rear screen is a nightmare.  Infact mist in general is a bit of a nightmare when the blowers only seem to work on the feet setting...

Hi Rich,
Yep I have the same issue too, seems to be the norm on these.
I don\'t have any water soming through or anything though, it was the same when I had my 2nd gen too. Solution ??/ well I just drive around with my drivers window down a lot apin in the neck with current climate I know.

sorry guys, yes there is a water leak somewhere!!

get a friend to use a hose on the car while you crawl around to find the leak. good idea to take inner back panels out.
check door seals and tail light seals and rear hatch seal by pointing hose at them. while everything is closed up!!
and take the carpet out to dry properly!!
