Moisture in dash
Noticed this today, it's been *very* wet recently and obviously moisture has got in I presume through the trip reset button slot.

Any suggestions how to get rid of it? With this stupid lockdown in place its not getting a great deal of use but I'm taking it out once in a while just to keep everything free.

Mine does the same when the cab gets condensation inside. It soon clears when it gets used. It hasn't had any effect on the clocks.

I’ve got a couple of Desiccant bags (Silica gel) in mine. No Moisture problems so far.

I've had the same problem (though somewhat worse as i seem to have ruined the waterproofing on my tilt)
I just left a fan heater running in the back for a couple of days whilst garaged, which i know doesn't solve the cause!
