Havard Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Mine is the same tbh! Was worried about it being the heater matrix but it isn't... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 that halfrauds mist repellant is good you just rub it on with a cloth and it works quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It helps if you run the AC and have the temp set up. It wont cool but it does dry the air out which makes demisting much faster. It maybe you have a leak somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Common problem on VAG cars, but if the pollen filter (cabin filter) gets damp/wet due to a leak under the scuttle panel then it causes this exact problem - I'd assume this could also be the case on the supra?

Guest Andy2k Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 its the pollen filter or dust filter. wat every you want to call it. its absorbs moisture when you use your fans, hence you use the fan more in the winter than the summer and winter air is damp, so the filter absorbs all this and becomes like a wet sponge. therefore when you turn your fan on its pumping moist air onto your windscreen and not clearing it. They should be changed every 2 years and they normally sit in or around the heater box or near the scuttle panel. hopes this helps you.

Dave Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 i had this prob and it was the ricirc button on, swaped it to the other one, no more steamed up screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've wanted to change my pollen filter, but I don't know where it is. Does anyone have a diagram, or could explain what this 'scuttle' thing is? Also, for de-misting, switch on the air-con and it will demist almost instantly. No need for warm air.

Pabs Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The scuttle pannel is the bit of plastic that sits along the bottom edge of the windscreen - usually the wipers screw/bolt on through it. The pollen filter "should" be easily accessible (bearing in mind that it needs to be replaced regularly) and on VAG cars there is a small section of the scuttle panel held on with 2 screws - undo these and pull forward and you can access the filter from there. Would assume (silly me) that a Supra is similar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The supra doesn't have a pollen filter. As for misting up on the windows, water is getting into the car somewhere. Could be anywhere really, but door and window seals are a good place to start checking, along with the tailgate seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the how-to guide on the Soarer site, but never any talk of the Supra one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the how-to guide on the Soarer site, but never any talk of the Supra one. my bad also - i see mention of fitting a soarer unit to encorporate a filter - but not in the supra as standard. Seems weird to me - the air coming into the cabin must be filtered at some point - otherwise anything harmful could get in. I won't argue though......
