Who else has this annoying problem? Depending on weather when I drive the car somewhere and roll up the windows I get condensation or fog on the interior of the windshield. I thought it was just my car but my brothers does it to and the last time I was at the track I seen a few others do this also. It's like heat from the engine bay is somehow seaping into the cabin and fogging up the inside of the windshield in the middle...same annoying V pattern with each car I've seen it happen on.

Anyone got a fix for this or something to maybe apply on the interior of the windshield to stop this from happening? Weird problem...thanks for any info

I get that too... and it's coming from the hood cowl area... and I believe it is heat from the motor.. the solution is to turn your defroster for a few mins and problem solved.

Mine does it when i park and leave the car... not while I'm driving.

Same here, when I park after driving it somewhere...not while driving. I do turn the defrost on but after a while with the interior of the window getting dew on it and drying over and over I have to clean the interior in the window because you can see like dry water spot patches.

Not a big deal...just annoying. Wondered if there's a fix for it to prevent it from happening.

I have a feeling that we, FL residents, experience this more than others.
Nasty, humid ass weather...

Mine does it too. I suspect the sound tube might have sonething to do with it. Has anyone deleted theirs and still had this problem?

I want to delete mine anyway, hopefully it will fix this issue aswell

Sound tube has nothing to do with it, mine did it with the tube on and off.

You've got a moisture build-up on the interior of your car. Drive around for a while with the windows up and the AC on, that should help.
