Wondered when this old chestnut would crop up.

There’s vents in the lenses, if you read through the manual it’s in there somewhere that it will happen.

Only a problem when it doesn't dry out pal.

Ha. I know. I've a couple of little snags. My screen wash output is pretty weak and I've a couple of trim rattles. But my panel gapping is good and everything else seems well put together. I'm just hanging out for a dry day when I can really set about it. Probably bought a car at the worst time of year.

It’ll dry quicker when it’s warmer, save yourself a trip

And LED lights don’t generate much heat, so they won’t dry them any quicker either.

Discovered how well black shows up the dirt after 2 days.
