After reading something about it, I threw a sock filled with cat litter under my passenger seat. It has helped a good bit with this.
Most of the condensation has been on the outside since.

Turn the AC on to dehumidify the air dude, even in wintertime.
Truer words have never been spoken
There's a reason that the car automatically turns the AC on when you move the hivac to the defrost position.

I live in a hilly area so that's when it usually happens. Although, I've never experienced this problem with the 4 other cars we've owned. The water just rides right over the channel on the roof that's supposed to divert water. I just applied fresh sealant and the surface very slick. I'm thinking the key now is rock the car to get the water to sheet off before I get in.
Yep I use the AC every time. Otherwise, the defroster doesn't do anything for me. I read elsewhere to leave the recircualtion off after parking. I'll give that a try.
Thanks for the tip. Although I use Meguiars and 303 which dont contain silicone, so I don't think that's the cause in my case.
The condensation only happens sporadically. It's hard to pin point the conditions, weather or otherwise that triggers it.

VW Car Net....I got it for the free 6 months. It is kind of worth free but it keeps telling me my doors are un-locked or I only have <100 range. Good idea for technology but VW just doesn't have it down yet. Does anyone pay for it or do you all drop it after the free period? Even if it was flawless I would/will drop it.

I'm still finding the clutch take-up to be problematic- and inconsistent. Another member here mentioned driving manual transmissions for 30+ years and never having this degree of difficulty before and I'm in agreement. The friction point is not distinct and I'd swear I was driving a car with 100K on the original clutch in terms of "bite". Hoping this is a charateristic and that I don't have a faulty clutch with only 4K miles on it.

Do the clutch bypass valve mod. I bought the ECS replacement and it’s a whole lot better. Tons

I dropped it after the trial period. It was cool, and worked fine 95+% of the time for me. Confirming doors are locked and having a parking locater was cool. The door lock thing was most useful to me. Fuel range useless as I keep a good eye on that in all of my vehicles, but I tend to "forget" if I locked my car.
The radio stays on when the car gets shut off - which makes it sound extra loud
Radio is tuned down when I start the carLong clutch travel
Non linear throttle that is a dog for 9/10ths of the travel
Parking brake lever has almost no travel
Door lock button that doesn’t work when the engine is off
Weak AC
Doorstop exterior styling
Pontiac fake vents up front
Hood so flat I’d rather look at grass grow
Smiling guppy grill graphic
Fabrics on doors always look dirty
No-feedback steering
Long seat bottom cushions in rear
Tire pressure monitor doesn’t clear itself when the tires have been filled
No automatic climate control except with autobahn package
Tinny sounding doors
Haven’t figured out how to get it to dictate my text messages
Too many buttons on steering wheel with unintuitive layout
Why is the transmission tunnel so high on a front wheel drive car?

If the air recirculation is on, and the fan speed is at 0, there should be nothing coming out of the air vents. That's the known "fix", so I'm not sure why yours still allows the hot air in from the outsideBut its still hot air
