As someone suggested before..  try and get some industrial size silica packs and stash them everywhere.  That should dry things out a bit. Ben

Top tip... If you turn your heater to cold a minute or two before you stop the car, you'll get quite a bit less condensation. I'm not sure why - perhaps it helps equalise the temperatures inside the cabin, as condensation only forms where theres a temperature difference.

when my car was leaking water, the condensation was crazy, but as i cured the leak and dried out the water i get less and less condensation.

Hiya, mine is like that too. I'm hoping new roof gutter strips will help

mine always seems to be rear window first, it was leaking where spoiler bolts come through glass mid windscreen but i have cured that leak

It is moisture in the car condensing on the cold glass. The hotter the car, the colder the outside - the more likely to get condensation. It is down to humidity in the air in your car, ie. you probably have a little bit of a leak.

However, the sweat off a person is just as likely to cause it. It happens on modern cars, just not as noticeable especially if they have the AC on.

You can get big packs of silica on eBay - when I worked at PCW, I would take it out all the new PC boxes and collect it...I had about 4kgs of the stuff - then my dad binned it
