Condensation inside windshield

[SD1290]

I have a 2018 Screw raptor, haven’t driven it for 2 weeks and drove it yesterday and then parked it for several hours. When I went to drive it again this evening I noticed the inside of the windshield was wet. It happened again today.

I don’t notice any leaks and all windows/doors are shut.


Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Was it weather related? Did you have warm humid air inside the truck when a cold front came through and made the windshield cold enough to condense the air in the truck? If not, you have what's called a leak.

did it rain recently, and do you have the moon roof?

air conditioning?
ventilation off?
ventilation on recirculate?

I don’t use recirculate, i turned off the heat about 2 minutes before parking it.
I do have the pano roof and I’m in Seattle so it rains a lot. The temperature has dropped past few nights

Any place else I should check?


Thanks

Hopefully not same as mine.. Your underlayment could be wet causing condensation to build up on windshield. Mine was. Nightly. Cabin would warm during the day and cold air at night would cause drops.

Long story short, my leak was the rear passenger cabin vent.

SD, I live just west of you in Port Angeles. I had the same issue last week in my work truck (a Dodge Ram). I made sure my doors were all closed tightly and the vents. However, it still happened. Then I removed my frostguard from the rear of the truck that I put on at night to prevent frost. It was pretty wet and never fully dried out sitting in the truck. I haven't had an issue since. I can't say for sure there's a correlation, but our weather combined with the wet from the protector likely was the issue.

thanks for the response all!

Paw Raptor, thanks for the response, must be the weather around NW Washington right now. It hasn’t happened since. Rain has been crazy lately
