    First, make sure the windscreen is clean on the inside, just use water with a small squirt of dishwashing detergent, wring out the cloth so it is damp. Then dry with a cotton hand towel.

    Use the climate control with A/C on auto and do not use recirculate position. Use the front windscreen demist as often as needed.

    What is the current outside air temperature when this happening?

    *note* For non-UK readers, when he says year 59, he means a vehicle registered between Sept 2009 to Feb 2010 (it has xx59 xxx on the registration plate (tag)) and colloquially call a '59 plate' in the UK. when he says screen (short for windscreen) he mean. windshield.

    Here is an example 59 plate (not the OPs!):
