Never had it before on a stored car . Omega is outside and off the road , not been opened or started for 2 weeks , opened it up today and the front screen is saturated with condensation :( Is that normal :-\
Car started up fine which is a bonus ::)
-
All 3 of ours 2 migs & 1 Hyundai have had this over the last week or so, must be something to do with the various change in temperatures, my mig is always garaged , but when I left work last night at 7pm there was condensation on the inside.
-
I felt a drip on my head , slid back the sunroof blind and it was all condensate in there as well . Mopped it all up now .

Doesnt condensation build up whilst not being used mean there is water getting in somewhere?

if the ac isn't working the car will be full of condensation, windows will be hard to demist, and are a constant battle to keep clear. The longer its left, the more it builds up.
if the ac cant be fixed and the car used, to dry things out with ac working in conjunction with the climate control as designed. Then can you acquire a dehumidifier and leave it running in the car for a day or two?
otherwise mildew will set in and the car will stink.
Those with working ac and fully working cc. run the car up to temp, get the interior warm and the fans settled, the screen and windows will be clear and the interior atmosphere dry.
... then turn the ac off via the eco button. ( eco on ) to simulate failed ac. Almost straight away you'll see the windows start to mist up in cold weather, the atmosphere becomes humid in the car and the whole thing becomes damp.
run it like that for a while and park it up, condensation build's in the car. isn't that right Mr EMD? (say"yes Chris") ;)
