I realize that it was a joke as mine was too.. as I stated with the curry

Picked up a few Desiccant Bags.
Will try the RTV silicone gasket maker once it gets a little warmer(that stuff doesn't like to come out of the tube in cold weather)

Seriously going to have some friend rice with curry, and will report back on the success.

Thanks again!

I was just going to mention the silica bags, lol. Why not get a dehumidifier and plug it into the DC outlet

[Toran]

She's an outdoor car for now and hooking up a dehumidifier via a DC outlet would be pain.
I even looked online for a small dehumidifier that would run from the cigarette lighter power source but no such luck at the moment.

California guys dont have to worry about interior frost/ice on windows!

Sometimes in January/December I could get frost but it doesn't get much below freezing

How many silica bags did you intend to put to your car?



I had one in my car, it was about smaller than my fist and it did its job almoust... it was a soaking wet too as the carpet



I would recommend the heater because it is fast and direct heat.. I used it to blow the heat directly to the wet carpet so the heat will vaporize the water and moisture..



I had to use it for four weeks because it taked that long to get the hole carpet to dry..



and when I putted it to blow directly to wet carpet, I could see the mist forming to sideglasses in about 5 to 10 minutes



Thats why I opened the tailgate.



Btw. I used ac heater..



Edit: remember to leave good gap between the carpet and the heater and support the heater too!!!

Or it could burn your carpet or your hole car

[Toran]

I ordered four small Desiccant Bags.
Will put one on the driver's side dash and will have to see about the remaining three.

Thank you for sharing your input and experience.

I think my only problems with my 924 in winter is that the cockpit is not getting warm enough to drive far, but the problems could be missing bottom motor shield..
and that the motor can't handle any hitting the gas pedal on first 2 or 3 start ups.. I think that the motor gets too much air and thats why dies... but after the third start I can hit the gas as I like, only minor glitch is that the perhaps 1 cylinder is not starting properly and the car is taking rpms like a two stroke engine about 10 to 15 seconds when pumping the gas pedal.. and then the motor runs correctly.

that cylinder idea is only a guess
