Why does the passenger side part of the windscreen clear before the drivers side ?

Mine seems to demist fairly evenly, might depend on how close you sit to the windscreen breathing over it :undecided:

Why didn't I think of that  :disapp:

Seriously, it takes about 90 seconds longer to clear the drivers side. My previous car had the same quirky behaviour. I thought it might be the fan direction. If it's running clockwise there would be a bias towards the passenger side.  :question:

You are lhd so therefore a rhd will have drivers side clear first!

But on my rhd i find the passenger side clears first which would be your driver side.

Odd isn't it.....

Get them breathing hard first, with a bit of physical exercise in the car with the windows up.
