Are any of the carpets damp. Check very carefully. Regards Peter

Have you tried leaving the aircon on all the time on recirculate? That will help keep the moisture content inside the car down

No it won't!

By leaving it on recirculate, every time you get in the car with wet shoes/clothes you'll increase the moisture content inside the car. Every time the car has passengers they'll be breathing out water vapour, increasing the moisture content inside the car. Certainly leave the air-con on, but put it on fresh air to blow out the water vapour.

Whether your A/C is on recirc or not,the water extracted is dumped outside the car.

You're right and I'm wrong, sorry!

It seems to me that whenever recirc's used, cars suffer more from condensation problems.

Forgot to mention

How do you check under carpets for water / as the carpets are fillted so tightly access to under then isny possible without removing door trims and you likely need special tools to lift those out

grateful for any ideas on how to gain access to floorpan

Thanks

Our Focus mk2 post-08 reg. mists up badly inside. I've cleaned all the inside windows (which helps reduce moisture) but when it's left parked outside overnight there is condensation on every inside window.

No leaks under carpets etc. door seals ok. Only internal dampness is from wet feet on the rubber mats but that's after we get into the car, the windows are already soaked prior to entry. The Quickclear soon clears the front screen and likewise the rear but even with the fan on 3 and air con on there is still plenty of rear window dampness even after 30 mins.

I'm wondering if it's the pollen filter which is supposed to have a new seal and fixing kit applied to ensure water tightness. Need to check the garage records to see exactly what they fitted (if anything).

Apologies, it's the mk1 with that problem.

Got this advice from someone in the know.

First, give all the internal windows a thorough clean with a window cleaning agent.

After driving the car and before turning off the engine set your climate control to Off or to floor without defog/windscreen before shutting it off. Leave it enough time to close the internal flaps (approx. 3 secs). What is happening is some water is getting into the evaporator core box through the windshield cowel and it's evaporating and condensing on the windshield.
