Sorry if I’m being lazy but just pulled up on drive and can see the windows of Mrs Macan full of condensation all the way around.

I washed it yesterday and she hasn’t used it today, but surely it shouldn’t be like that.

All carpets feel dry.

What should I be looking at

Washed it yesterday, frost overnight, not driven......there’s the answer.

When you say “full” of condensation.....? Drive it for 10 mins, it should go once the car warms up.

Suppose just wouldn’t have expected that.

I am of course talking about the inside of the windows just to confirm !

I bet one of those many options is a sun roof ;)

There have been some issues :o The seal between inside and outside may be bit leaky - open and clean all around seal make sure there is no tree debris up there? Just a thought :?

Check the boot and specifically the battery compartment. If there is a leak then water can collect in the battery compartment. I was told that there had been a few cases where the electrics were affected. In my case I became aware when the car was full of condensation and then the ctek started to play up and the battery wouldn’t charge. Turned out there was an inch or so of water in the battery compartment and the ctek connector was under water and very corroded......

The leak was from the sunroof....

I was thinking of this as one example of sun-roof issues
