Explaining on TikTok account @alextwinspark, he said: "As you've noticed, I'm parked in the sun.
"It's going to get warm in there. And I have damp issues.
"So I have opened my window just a crack on both sides.
"That will effectively help get rid of lots of moisture in your car.
The expert then quips: "Which is especially relevant because I live in Stafford."
To open your window, simply push the button which is usually found by your elbow on the car door or next to the gear stick.
An expert recently reminded drivers of a button inside every car which will de-fog windscreens in just seconds.
It came as temperatures started to fall and many drivers started experiencing a misted windscreen when they got into the car in the mornings.
This is often the result of the difference in temperature between outside and inside the car.
It rivers are only just realising that there is one household item that most of us own that can help heat up our cars much faster than usual.
The item is revealed in a TikTok video and it has motorists stunned that they didn't know the bizarre but simple trick before.
The video is shared by @drivewithkruzee - who regularly posts similar clips to his 17,000 followers - and has more than one hundred likes.
His top tip is to find a blanket and put it on the engine beneath the hood of the car the night before you drive - to keep it warm overnight.
