First year of TVR ownership and committed to daily use of my S1. This has been great until the recent heavy frosts - mine is the only car that ices up on the inside and coupled with a lack of air flow to keep the side windows clear its not good news!!!

Anyone cured this problem?

My S2 used to be a terror for this. Fix the water leaks and you will clear the condensation. In the mean time do what you can to dry the car out.

Yep I agree - is condensation from damp in the carpets. Either cure the leaks or put a wee heater in the car overnight.

Sticking a few bags of dessicant inside might help too

Keep the roof down and drive faster. That should dry it out.

I always find the best way to cure leaks is to put the roof back on!!!!!

Now as dry as a bone - thanks to a weekends worth of electricty and a 2Kw fan heater!

Thanks for suggestions (sarcastic and otherwise!) the winner was the 'wee heater'... unfortunately no prize awarded but made me chuckle.

bit late for a sensible answer, but in the past I've found the best solution to be take the carpet out and dry indoors, and leave a fan heater on in the car.
