Weird fogging...

Per the cold weather, I've noticed a really weird phenomenon recently. If my car warms up, and I leave it and come back a couple hours later, I notice that the windows inside are all fogged up. However, if I spend the same amount of time inside, and the car is cold when I leave it, the window's aren't fogged. Could it be I have some sort of gaseous leak in the cabin or something?

not leaving a window open. maybe the rain onno. hasn't been happening to anyone else. and I've checked my carpet no wet spots. and in my situation its not so much fog as it is moisture.

Uh, not sure if I'm on the same page....but if you have the interior warm and leave the car, the humidity in the air will condense on the cold windows, and fog them up. I've put RainX (anti-fog in the black bottle) on my DD and haven't had any fog since - that was months ago.

Try making sure your climate control is not set to the recirculate mode.

This is what i've notice with my vert... every time it rains the this humidity in my car happens... i think its because of the poor weather stripping. i guess its the small leakage of water through vents and seams from the doors and when you add in your heater full blast with your windows rolled up, its like a sauna in there. creates that precipitation on the windows.
