Hi everyone.

I purchased and took delivery of a New Honda Long Range Electric at the end of September 2022. Since the middle of November I have suffered with a considerable amount of condensation on the interior glass areas, which I have never suffered with most other vehicles I have owned in my life (now am 73).

The extent of the condensation is such that we have to wipe the glass interior (all but mainly front and rear) with a cloth (which we have to reign out a number of times) before we car move away.

Does anyone else have this problem and if so, what can I do to prevent it?

Many thanks

Our car is a 1918 SE and we have always had a condensation problem. I thought it was a damp pollen filter so I changed it with no impact on the condensation. The car can be dry inside but if we park up for a while the windscreen is full misted. Putting the screen blower on full blast clears it in a few minuets. It is a blessed nuisance and would love to find a cure.

Ooops 1918 is too early I guess, No, I only have air con in the summer. The condensation builds up when the car has been used then parked up for a period of time.

No. It happens in dry as well as wet conditions. No leaks either.
