Default Window Moisture

I'm getting an unusual amount of moisture around my rear windows and rear side windows. What would cause this? Nothing in the car has been spilled such as water bottles and such. Where are the drain tube locations on the car? I do not see any floor moisture that i know of just window moisture.

clean it with windex and you are set for a while. I guess its the weather and humidity. I cleaned with generic glass clearner and it helped.

Mop up as much as possible, get a dehumidifier kit into it (aldi do a kit for a fiver), and use the air con on Hi for a while.

Throw in a "hang-up" style Damp-Rid container into the cabin; I hung mine up on the rear pocket of the driver seat.

During the winter months don't have the climate control set to recirc.

Always use fresh air mode so you flush out the humidity that builds up from wet/snowy feet dripping into the carpet.

Outside air is low humidity in the winter months.

ok thanks, i noticed there is moisture around my weather stripping sometimes, it's weird. It also feels like the rear door isn't sealed shut good for some reason. I have no idea why.

OK so i was checking my cabin air filter and i noticed the door was closed on it even when i tried to hit the fresh air button. The door to the cabin filter would not move. Am i doing something wrong to make the door not work right or is it defective? I turned it on heat and hit the fresh air button did not more. Do you have to have the ac button on to make the door move? I figured this could be one of the issues of the moisture in the windows.

Are you the original owner of the car? Most likely someone didn't follow the instructions and broke the actuator arm; your car will constantly be on Fresh Air mode with the door closed.
