Anti Humidity for cars?

[MexGT]

Hey guys, since I haven't been using my car most of the time, I need something to avoid humidity inside the car, some stains have shown in the seats and I had to clean them often, I know its humidity that builds inside.

Any ideas ?

You could try the little boxes that go in gun safes. Or better yet call around and see if any of the motorcycle dealers have any, a lot of the Harley dealers get them when bikes are shipped and they are thrown away. Might be able to score a few for free. Just put a couple on the floorboards.

I'm not sure what Irishman means bt the "little box" for the gun safe. In my gun safe there's a "dry rod" which fluctuates in temperature creating convective air currents in the safe to inhibit rust that forms in stagnant air. But it doesn't really dehumidify and needs AC power.

Ive been using this white granulate thing I need to use in a small recipient and I have to change it every week because its soaked with water in a full week, might take pictures of the before and after lol
Anyway was wondering if there's any better thing than the thing I use.

I would use Damp-Rid.

Stupid auto correct on my phone! I meant the desiccant pouches used for packing.

BEFORE & AFTER of 10 days lol ......... got car moisture? The tray was placed inside the car in the passenger floor carpet.

Jesus, is your carpet effectively functioning as your floorpan? I didn't expect that much moisture to build up

 

[MexGT]

yeah its crazy, what do you mean as floorpan ?

 

[HitandRunDriver]

The metal floor separating the bottom of your car from the inside...I was inferring that your carpet took the place of it

Is your passenger side floor getting soaked?

lol no guys the car is not even in use, its stored so it cant get any sort of water from outside, its under an open space, just a concrete roof over the car, even some afternoon sunlight gets the car and I thought that would help avoid inside moisture.

The carpets are not soaked, everything is fine as far my eye can see, just the moisture gets crazy.

 

[MexGT]

This is where it sits, in my backyard .... the roof has enough space for 2 cars.

That may be causing extra moisture from the heating and cooling. Is the humidity high in your area?
