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 

[2boxerdogs]

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 .

Not biting .. no room on the forecourt for it 

Pollen filter recent? Boot vent clear?

Aye both clear mr t 

[Webby the Bear]

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

[chrisgixer]

Scuttle drain clear?
Pollen filter dry?
Ac working previously?
Leaking windscreen?
Leaking heater matrix?
Any water or damp in the drivers or passengers footwell?
Ditto down sides of carpet under centre console/ heater matrix?

Edit. Ah, Ac nfg. That's probably why. General damp in the car.

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")
