Do you have problems with steamy windows?
No not a Tina Turner song,
STOP HUMMING THE TUNE ....  Here is a link that could help with condensation in your car... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t4mzMS-ZZ8#t=67 Problem is... trying to find a pair of socks without holes in lol...  CAUTION:- However, I would have thought that after time the liquid absorbed by the crystals will become saturated, and if the silica crystals are like moisture absorption crystals you buy for those tubs, then the liquid might be slightly caustic, so experiment first and take appropriate precautions. If it all goes wrong, you could damage the carpets, or even the paint and thus body of the car.

Got to say on a serious note if a car is steaming up often there's a reason for it. Either a water leak causing wet carpets or less serious not using ventilation correctly. My older Terrano steams up easily now the AC doesn't work. If I balance sunroof on tilt or crack window or windows slightly open to cause some air flow.

As Jim says if you are steaming up then you have a moisture problem in the car, might take some investigating but it needs doing, Rick

Or move to Spain - a bit of 24 degree sunshine soon disperses the condensation!
