My corsa's the same, possible gap in one of the seals. Bloody annoying, especially as you have to de-ice the inside too

 

[omgamicra]

like breathing?
hmm had an idea bout that. what if ppl breath through a hose/gas mask leading out the window so that the warm moist breath doesn't fill the cabin and condense on the cold windows? may look odd though lol

Or as mentioned earlier you make sure the heater isn't just re-circulating that damp air inside the cabin.

My switch for recirculation / normal air tends to slide towards recirculation on its own it gets very annoying.

sounds like the cable mechanism needs adjusting ^

 

[davey1991]

How do i go about doing this? It does feel as though something is tight.

 

[pollyp]

i think you can access where one end of the cable operates the diverter flap by taking out the glovebox (can pull out the pins where it pivots underneath)
the inner cable moves the flap and the outer cable determines the range of movement.

seen in this pic arrowed at the top left corner

basically unclip the outer cable from the metal holder, move & hold the diverter dial fully right till it clicks, pull the outer cable down till the flap closes to let in outside air then push the outer cable into its metal holder to set it's position. move the dial left/right to check it works properly.
