Hi Guys,

Now we that have the cold nights I am noticing in the morning my front windscreen has condensation on the inside.

Anyone else having this issue?

I do have a loose rubber trim on nearside passenger door wonder if it that. Going into dealers to get that sorted.

Have you switched your aircon off? IMO best left on as it acts like a dehumidifier and sucks out most of the moisture.

Funny you should mention that....My recently replaced windscreen (non OEM) seemed to do that the other day...I've been waiting for another frost to give it a good test. I thought I may have got a duff one. As you say, it worked just a difference of speed, defined exactly down the centre.

Was thinking the exact same thing thing this morning. Lots of condensation on the inside of my windscreen this morning. I’ve ever had on any Ford I’ve owned over the last 10 years.

No problems with moisture or condensation here. Pretty impressed with the speed it clears the frost to be honest.

In the last few weeks we have had freezing overnight temperatures in Scotland and when the Puma has been defrosted I have noticed there is condensation on the front windscreen(inside).

This has happened on several occasions and it strikes me that the windscreen seal is compromised.

My wife got the car new In September last year and to my mind she should not have this issue on a brand new car.

Condensation tends to be formed when cold and hot meet, like when hot exhaust fumes hit the cold outside air. Will check my van on Sunday / Monday because my car is garaged.
