Damp Interior solution

Postby petestubbs » Sat 06.01.2007, 09:17

Hi,
Not having the luxury of a garage, I found that I needed to take quite a lot of kitchen roll into my car in the mornings as the insides of the windows were wetter than the outsides!

Then I had the idea, Halfords sell a moisture trap, it's designed for caravans, but fits behind the seats in the Elan perfectly (as long as you have the seat fully back of course, because it needs to be wedged in to keep it upright).
Ive had one in there for about a month now and it needs emptying every week or so and I have just had to buy some more crystals for it - but it works really well!
The trap + crystals is around £3.50 and the extra crystals are about £2.

Just an idea if anyone, like me, has to leave their car out in the elements.

Pete.

That's exactly what I use too.

Looks like an excellent solution.

I was about to buy one of these

but I think that I will nip down to Halfords first.

Use a car cover

My M100 stays out all the time and has for years. The best investment you can make is a well fitted car cover. It has keept the interior dry even through huricane force winds (two seperate ocassions) and keeps the sun and bird droppings from eating the paint and rubber
