After work intended to address a windscreen that takes too long to demist, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record outside humidity, passenger load, and whether the A/C and fresh-air settings work. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Check the cabin filter and use the manual’s demist settings; avoid recirculation if it worsens fogging. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
