Halfords Urges Drivers To Remove Umbrellas To Cut Car Condensation This Winter

Halfords frames the guidance as a winter safety reminder about reduced visibility.

Overview

  • The retailer warns that damp items, especially umbrellas, add moisture that fogs windows and reduces a driver's ability to spot hazards.
  • Motorists are told to take out wet clothing and shoes promptly and to clear any pooled water or slush after each journey.
  • Halfords recommends placing an in‑car dehumidifier to absorb excess moisture and limit fogging.
  • Drivers are advised to check door and window seals and ensure drains in doors and the boot are not blocked so water can escape.
  • Express, Chronicle Live and Derbyshire Live have reported the guidance for the UK winter season, with Derbyshire Live citing similar advice from Toyota.
