I think Danno should check that his carpets are dry.

They are dry...and I'm quite careful not to get the car wet with shoes, or leaving the door open in the rain. Am I the only one who gets this??? :angry:

The Danno:
Could it be your climate control is at fault?
Are you using the climate control?
Are you using the climate control on Auto with the 2nd 'Auto' button engaged which provides more ventilation?
Is the car 'always' steamed-up?
Very strange that nobody else seems to have this unusual problem.
Hope it gets sorted.

Doesn't happen that often. Only when I've left the car all day in winter, sometimes I'll come back to find it's got condensation on the inside of the front screen. It's quite bad, almost water droplets. Fan won't clear it for about 10 mins, best to cloth it off. Doesnt happen when it's running and fans have cleared it.

Oh and ps, I never have it on auto recirculate, as I don't trust it to kick in at the right time, and I don't want recycled air!!! Unless I'm behind a bus, or at GTD :evil:

Have you got your AC on the climatronic set to on [LED lit in button]? It can be turned off, maybe that's the problem.
