First of all check and clean the scuttle drain making sure its not blocked, then check and replace the pollen filter and make sure the rear vents inside the boot in the right handside are clear as well.

pollen filter, check/clear the drain plug in the bottom where the pollen filter is and make sure you dont have stuff bunged in the cubby on the r.hand side of the boot where the brake lights are

These cars do suffer from steamy windows. The best thing to do is clean out your scuttle tray and replace the pollen filter,an easy and cheap job to do which you will find in the maintenance section. I also used an anti mist product on my windows bought from Halfuds and this has also helped ;)

As you look at the engine the scuttle is in front of you below the windscreen. The part you need to look at is to the right handside of the windscreen, you will also see the pollen filter to.
