Are you sure you don't have a problem with the heater matrix or filters? Might be worth checking your front carpets for moisture?

Other than that, I'd defer to 850 owner members.

My Phase 2 had the tiniest of leaks from the heater matrix o-rings - that along with the pollen filter having been installed back to front resulted in badly misted windows. Have a good feel around the matrix and associated plumbing if you get chance - if there is a leak, I understand it's not a terribly big job on the 850.

Have you got air-con? If so, does that clear the mist?

OK - if the a/c is struggling to demist then I'd certainly investigate the matrix/ plumbing and associated filters (assuming the a/c is in good nick, lol).
