Which costly breakdowns are indicated by a car window frozen from the inside
Sometimes it is enough for an experienced driver to notice a completely inconspicuous detail in the interior of a car to understand that something is wrong with the car. Portal “AutoVzglyad” tells about one of these nuances.

Few car owners, carelessly looking at the cars of housemates parked in the snowy parking lot, pay attention to one oddity. Some cars have frost on the inside of the windshield, others are clean. In general – nonsense. After the engine has warmed up, the air from the heater will quickly melt this ice. The only unpleasant thing is that after melting it turns into drops of water that need to be wiped off with something. For a car owner, an icy windscreen is even a reason for serious overload.

The ice on it is a product of the condensation of water vapor from the cabin air. That is a result of banal humidity. Well, if it is related to the puddles left on the rubber mats – from the melted snow from the shoes of the driver and passengers. In this case, the “ice ages” will stop after expelling this moisture.

When the rubber mats underfoot are dry and the windows are still covered with frost after parking, this means that there is a constant excess of moisture in the cabin. In the most “light” version, humidity can be caused by problems in the ventilation system. For example, due to a cabin filter that has not been replaced for a long time.

When clogged, the ventilation in the car is poor and even human fumes are blown out inefficiently. Not to mention the dampness of wet clothes or shoes. Solving the problem is as easy as peeling pears – we replace the filter with a new one and enjoy life and a clean windshield on a winter morning. But if everything is fine with the filter, but the ice does not move away, then you can start to worry seriously.

As a result, moisture constantly enters the cabin. For example, due to a seal that is not tightly adjacent to the “frontal”. It is enough to see a small crack in it and that’s it – the upholstery of the car interior will almost always be wet from leakage. The result is not only a frozen windshield, but also corrosion of the body – from the inside! You can solve such a disaster only by replacing the “frontal” with a new one or reinstalling the old one, but with new rubber bands. Expensive and difficult – but there is nothing to do.

In addition, in quite old cars, the material of the pipelines supplying antifreeze from the engine to the “stove” ages over time and cracks in some places. These abnormal openings allow it to flow into the machine and evaporate there. The situation can be corrected only by dismantling the front of the cabin by replacing the old pipes of the stove. Yes, it is expensive and annoying. But there is nowhere to go – the corrosion of the body is not dormant even in this case.
