I've asked this in the tent section and not had many replies, so I'll try here. We have a frame tent which was put away wet last year. Due to other commitments it was a couple of weeks before we got it back out to dry off. We discovered that the windows had fogged over. They are almost opaque. Does anyone have  solution to this ? Has it happened to anyone else ? The tent has been used since in dry, sunny conditions, but still not cleared.

The surface is still smooth. Just opaque.

Just a thought - perhaps it might be cured with an application of heat?  Try a hairdryer lightly on it.  Could it be the wax waterproofer got on to the plastic if it was put away wet?  Maybe a wash will cure it. 

There has to be a logical explanation, otherwise everybody's clear plastic would be going opaque when it got wet if you think about it!!
