Default Windscreen condensation

Hi
Does anyone else have problems with condensation on the windscreen? Weather turned here last week and found that there is so much condensation build up that it looks like I need a windscreen wiper inside!
Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Thanks

Our weather here in the UK has turned very moist and I have the same problem. I bought a condensation killer kit from the local DIY store. It's a small plastic tub (6" x 3" x 3") with removable perforated lid. You fill it with a crystal pack and leave it. I rest mine on top of the dash and it's completely cured the problem.


I used to have an Audi that suffered from severe internal condensation, problem was blocked drain holes in the battery tray, over flow water was creeping into the interior, so check you don't have any leaks.
My Crossfire condensation was definitely moist air . Some say to close all air vents to help stop the air getting inside the cabin.

I park mine in the garage which has a de-humidifier set on 55%
No problem with condensation.

Run the A/C with the round temperature controls set to your comfort; running just the fan without pushing the A/C button to "ON" will fog up the inside of the windshield/windscreen in a hurry. Running the heater with the A/C running seems strange, but it keeps my windows clear and we have lots of humid weather and foggy mornings here in Alabama.
