Is it with every convertable that when the temperature begins to drop outside (even slightly) the windscreen goes really misty and even if you put the de-mister on full it does sweet FA? Even with the roof up it's like it. What the hells going on lol???

that's the trade name of it.
its designed to aid the movement of water from your windscreen. reality is, at 70mph you don't need to use wipers during rain, its that good.

but it also when applied inside, stops mist on your screen.

can be bought in most car accessory shop yellow bottle

I used to leave some bags of silica gel in the car to help absorb the moisture.

The S blower doesn't pull in any fresh air - its all recycled from the interior - opening the window a bit can help slightly but it is basically a crap system.
If you've had damp in the interior or damp clothes / coat in the car all that moisture is just blown up the windscreen.
Try and get the interior well dried out if its got any damp in there (likely)

Its a TVR feature hehe
