Title: Mould in rear windows
Post by: Gti man on November 23, 2014, 02:34:44 pm

Hi

Does anyone know what to do when you get mould building up by the windows

Is there a product you can use?

Regard

I've got a sachet of desiccant in each window. I believe it may be quite common....

you talking inside or outside in the gaps

a body wash brush works well on the outside in the gaps where the wash mitt won't reach  , its normally lack of sun that makes it worse in the winter months

if its in side you have a moisture problem , a sachet of desiccant as suggested will help

I've found that using a cleaning product with enzyme eaters in it can help keep window seals from building up moss, etc. I bought ValetPro's Enzyme Odour eater when I bought a Seat Leon Cupra R interior from a smoker - got rid of the smells, and it has helped on my mk5's window seals - no green algae build up on the window rubbers.

I have a karcher steam cleaner I've used on all the rubbers, it works very well and doesn't do any damage as your not scrubbing. Seals work perfectly but it gets every bit of mould off
