Large amount of window condensation?

[Strange Mud]

.... Every time my friend is in my car I allow him to vape....

gotta ask...Why?

Do you drive with your air conditioning on or off? If off, try leaving the air con on all the time with the heat turned up to your liking. the drier in the air con system should keep the interior air dry. I'd try this first anyway.

Makes em shut up haha. Used to be a cigarette smoker and so was he, so the alternative of him vaping is 100x better and it smells good... although, no idea on how bad 2nd hand vape is tho.

According to everything I've read the chemicals in vaping might be worse than just smoking.

Only if you're vaping black market THC cartridges.

Anyway, I do remember reading a lot of threads about this same issue a few years ago. Seemed to be a common problem from snowmelt in the footwells. Try getting some desiccant packets (moisture absorbents) or a dehumidifier that you can put in your car for a few hours a day

This would explain the poor judgement in letting someone vape in your car....I can understand (disagree with) for yourself but if I don't you don't.

.02 of unsolicited advice. I appreciate you answering Jerm.

I have/had condensation on mine. The rear badge drain pipe had broken and was leaking water into the boot lid, which is inside the car. I fixed this and it appears to have gone away - I have a reusable dehumidifier bag just in case.

Might be worth checking the rear badge lid drain pipe?

Nice tip and welcome to the forum.

Are you in Seattle by any chance? Just happen to me last week. Lots of water inside the windshield with large drops.
I decided to leave windows open overnight in my garage and than drove with heater for an hour. So far so good.

Well I checked the car over. The small rubber grommet on the bottom of the hatch lid seems to be intact. I didn’t feel any moisture in the spare wheel well although there is carpet in there covering much of it. There didn’t seem to be any cracks in the sunroof rails. I’m not sure how I’d find out if the drain is clogged? There was a small bit of moisture on the front part of the sunroof frame. Unclear if that’s also condensation. There isn’t any wetness on the carpet or mats. The edges of the headliner near the windows seemed dry. I did replace the windshield this summer with an OEM one. It didn’t seem to leak then, but I guess that’s a possibility? Any other ideas? As you can see there are large water droplets on the inside of the windshield.
