What will prevent build up of condensation or film INSIDE cover for front camera?

[joebruin77]

Last year, I shared a post about how condensation or some sort of film built up on the INSIDE of the cover over the front camera. As a result, the camera could not "see" clearly. I called Tesla service and a mobile technician successfully cleaned it. My problem was solved. This mobile service took place in December of 2022.

Now I noticed that the same problem has returned. My front camera cannot see the cars around me. I cannot use Enhanced Autopilot nor cruise control because the camera is "blind". I have cleaned the outside of the cover and the windshield very thoroughly. The film is clearly on the inside of the cover. I plan on calling out mobile service again.

It is annoying that this problem has returned just a few months after the previous service and cleaning took place. Is there anything I can do to prevent the build up of the condensation or film? I was thinking of asking the mobile technician to apply some ceramic spray sealant on the inside of the cover, in the hopes that this might prevent it.

If I cannot find a solution, I may have to have mobile service come out once every 6 to 8 months to clean the cover over my front camera.

Has anyone else found a way to prevent this condensation or film from building up in the first place? I welcome any and all suggestions.

Thank you,
Joe

I watched a Youtube video on how to take off the camera dust cover and then cleaned both the windshield and camera lens. Hardest part was removing the rear view mirror. Tesla wanted $150 to do it.
